All that work should have fixed the problem, but unfortunately white smoke means coolant, need look for a leak in a head gasket.

Replaced motor and im getting power to the distributor and to the coil packs but it wont fire we have changed the cam and crank sensors and nothing does anyone know how to help please

Without a look under the bonnet sorry hood i couldnt tell you ,yes your getting power to the coils but it may not be sparking due to the immobilisor system as this breaks the earth return circuit ,i think the best bet is to ask a local mechanic to have a look for you ,also you havent stated the year of the vehicle as this can help to decide a answer for a question as vehicles do differ with different years of manufacture although the smae model

2000 gmc c6500 wont start

We have a 2000 GMC 6500 454 engine. Truck will shut off, we turn off the the ignition wait for about 4 or 5 minutes. Doing waiting time, if you turn the ignition part way on, you can't hear the fuel pump, and if you try to start, it will not start . But after the 4 or 5 minutes, when you turn the ignition part way on, you hear the fuel pump, then it will start. It will shut down with a heavy load or even with out any load. It seems to do it more often when it's really hot out. It will shut down as much as 10 times.

Truck overheats I changed t-stat and antifreeze

IF you have a viscous fan hub driving the fan then replace it with a new unit. IF electric fan/s then check fuses and fans for correct operation. Have a coolant system check done and have a flow test done on the radiator. Ensure that the radiator fins are not blocked up with mud/snow or paper/plastic. Have a compression test done to check for head gasket or cracked head.

My 2005 4L80e poped out of drive at 65 mph and now it does not go into drive and it goes to idle and coasts when I let off the gas.

Here's what my problem was in my '93 GMC when this happened.. A speed sensor was faulty.. The dealership hooked me to their computer and they had the answer right away.. They changed the sensor (not a big deal) and it's worked perfectly since.

Cant get rotor off vehicle

Depending on the year and model, it may just be rusty- frozen on the hub. Sometimes you have to use a very large hammer to break it loose. But using a hammer may damage it beyond the point of being useable.

Timing chain

bent push rods could have been caused when the chain broke and not from the chain been replaced wrong or the timing out.if the engine was running when the chain broke the cam would have stopped leaving all the valves in the same positon as the mometum of the fly wheel continued to turn the pistons in the cylendars could hav come up and hitting the valves and bending the push rods. and or damaging the cylendar head.recommend removing the head and have it checked for damage, as well as replacing the bent push rods, and cylendar gaskit. once the head is checked and the valves are seated well. then replace and follow instructions in the set up for the pistons and cam prior to replacing the chain and setting the timing.I hope this was helpful.
