I'm having some trouble getting my motor in time (99 Kia Sportage) Clearly I missed a step somewhere, but I can't tell where! I've got it all back together, and it started just like it did before I replaced the water pump, however I hear a valve knocking slightly. I'm assuming the timing is only a little off, or it probably wouldn't even start? Am I correct in thinking this?
Also, will I need to pull everything apart again to get the timing correct, or can i use a timing gun and the distributor(?) If I do need to pull it apart, what steps specifically will I need to perform?
Thanks in advance for your help!
