Ok a lil help here guys my truck is a 85 and it keeps getting hot I took thermostat out and that did not help. The truck has about 250xxx on it and when I got it I put new timing chain on it a gear was broke on crank . I got timming dead on with timmimg light and even put a new red top optima on it and starter drags bad (this could just mean I got a wore out starter I know) BUt my question is why it run so hot and why so hard to crank sometimes I am thinking the carb needs rebuilt? I know that does not explain the over heating problem I just very confused please help! All I ever messed with before this is sbc and when water pump goes bad on them you know it just do not know what going on.

is it small block chevy or is it a toyota motor and what temp does it get to when you say its hot and if it is past 220 then its getting warm and also what temp thermo did you have in it and you might have a bad head gasket poor timing

I thought same thing but it should not be hitting dead on with timming light were it is should it? That is what it is doing by the light it shows to be perfect in time

that sounds very possible

yea pc if the timing chain is 1 tooth off you CAN have the distributor dead on

pull the valve cover, put crank on 0 degree timing mark,
