I found out what is was....my head gasket AGAIN!!....I dont feel like dealing with changing it again...i guess it over heated because they was ait in the motor and i thought it was filled up all the way and it wasnt....and im guessing the reason it dont wanna stay on is cuz the gasket is blowen and there is no compression..im so pissed now im thinking about selling the motor with the jrsc...idk what the hell to do

just change it again, its no big deal. it doesnt take longer than an hour. just make sure that you bleed the coolant system this time to get all the air out of it. dont give up on it yet, just a minor setback

were you present when the timing was done? if so its not hard to do. just point the cam gear so that the up is pointing up and line up the two lines on the gear with the top of the head. then put a long extention down the #1 cylinder and turn the crank until it ggoes all the way up to top dead center. then put your belt on. just turn the motor over by hand to make sure that nothing hits internally. then fire it up

i had it running fine for a while...i was getting white smoke when i would step on it so i brought my head to a machine shop to clean it and put new valve seals..so while i was at it i changed my head gasket and thats when all the problems started it was runing just fine before i took the head off...so idk i took off the valve cover and i saw water and a machanic came to my house and he said it is the head gasket again!!
