I posted similar question before but didnt get very good response. Problem started with blown left head gasket (Located to Rear by firewall) I replaced it and torqued to 80lbs. as per book said in sequence pattern. Started and completely stopped smoking, no water leaks, and runs with like a skipping sputtter continuously, and lacks power on acceleration. 2nd I re-timed it all back up to specs, aligned all dots on head cams, and lower mark. Stared it and runs with no change. 3rd I replaced all spark plugs, wires, cap, rotor, started it and runs the same as before, 4th I had 3 Auto Mechanics, 1 who worked in garage for years by trade, and another who is Father in Law who lives with us, and worked on his own all his life...Nobody can figure my problem out why this is running like c**p, I tightened all intake nuts to 15lbs torque specs per book as well. Timed it up with a timing light, and nothing makes any difference...also checked out all vaccum hoses for cracks, all seem to be working. Please HELP?
