I am going over your request now and will reply back soon with some info OR a few questions, Lou
do you have a check engine light on now?
do you have a scan tool to check the codes?
i cannot do a phone call on this but im sure another tech could.

ok ,
next step is to either recheck the timing marks, or do a compression test to make sure we didnt bend anything
