What's up crew!!! Need some advice from some of you gear heads. Found a cracked block after winter storms. Every mechanic I talked too was 6 weeks out, so I decided to just buy a new long block and install it my self. It was time consuming but not a terrible job. New motor is back together and in the boat. First start was a little stiff but eventually fired and seemed to idle normal. I then scheduled to take to local Malibu dealership here in Houston for them to set the timing for me. Here is where I need your help. They claim that the timing will not adjust. So I am not sure where the problem could be. I have removed timing cover and checked that timing chain is correct. Distributor points at #1 at top dead center. Could the ecm be in some sort of limp mode that is not allowing timing to adjust? Is the distributor off a gear? Started again on hose yesterday, and I see what they are talking about, when you turn distributor there is no change in engine. If you turn either way very far it just dies. Any help would be great
