When I pulled the valve covers off I got a bit of a surprise, I was full of oil with gas mixed in it! after I checked the valves I replaced the oil but it still won't start. I was wondering how I am going to time it when the wires from the timing light won't reach the battery? as for where I live, it's in portland, oregon s.e.. to be little closer if anyone can help me find the problem with my t3.
