Your timing may be off because of the valve timing. have you seen this done before or you just trying your luck. i really dont know but are all of your sensors the same? is the firing order the same?

Hi I have a 1996 Geo Tracker 4 wd 1.6 motor 16 valve & # 2 cylinder is shooting a stream of fuel out of sparkplug hole
probably not the injector but the seal at the base of the injector tip. when moving injectors always use new seals ans ensure that they are fitted correctly.

I was thinking of replacing timing belt on my 95 geo tracker as it has 72,000 miles.i read a post on this site pertaining to this but i am curious....since my tracker is running fine wouldnt it be as...
Some what, but not exactly...before you take it off, just make sure you mark everything as if you are installing a new belt, as if yours had popped, then that way, you know you wont mess up..and i say that because when you loosen the tensioner the valves will move, and you dont want them to hit the pistons...

Replaced to valves on center piston on 1990 geo
timming is not the issue, sounds like the valve seals are leaking, or the piston rings are severly worn. these engines are fairly simple to just rebuild the entire engine.....ie...seals,rings gaskets, maybe a have the head dropped off and have it checked for cracks or warpage.

Piston ring installation on 96 geo 1.3 liter 4 cyl engine.
If you are that deep into things you will do poorly without a good manual. Are the pistons new or used?If they are used you need to completly clean the ring grooves in the pistons or the new rings will stick and gall.Did you remove the ridge at the top of the cylinders? If not there is a good the top ring will either break or bust the upper land off of the piston. Hopefully you had a machine shop go through the block. Check the ring manufacture's web site. I am sure they will have tips and instructions.
