The starter cover was pretty straight forward to put back on so i doubt its that...maybe its the ground to the motor slow starter ?

slow starter ?
I just recently put the engine back together after blowing a rod as well as replacing the starter "peanut" cover. Well when I hit the switch to start it all i hear is the pistons going up and down very slowly. Could this be a bad battery, ground to the engine, or is something wrong with the starter cover ? The starter cover was pretty straight forward to put back on so i doubt its that...maybe its the ground to the motor

How strong is the battery? Try jump starting from a car...

Sounds def like the battery as it has been sitting awhile unless you had it on a bat. tender.then it may need replacing or topping up.sweekster wrote:How strong is the battery? Try jump starting from a car...

Re: slow starter ?
also check your connections on your starter solenoid. Clean them and the battery connections.
I also un plug my headlights for day use... or weak battery. I know they shut off when ya hit the starter button... but when your thumb is off the button they pull juice.
Couldn't hurt.

Re: slow starter ?
Yes very good chance its your battery. However you did mention you had the engine torn down, make sure your mechanical timing is correct too.
