Make sure your piston is at TDC when the valves are closed on the intake stroke. you can put a small dowl in the spark plug hole to verify that the piston is at TDC.

1987 trooper LS.'94 3.2, SAS,35's , lots of dents and rust. Now, improved, with more dents.
1995 trooper LS. Wife won't let me improve this one.
1996 trooper. I'll need something to modify when the '87 finally rusts away.
