What would cause an engine to shake violently?
You have a misfire. Check the coil packs. If the first answer don't help also check your spark plugs and check your motor mounts and if that not it get you exhaust checked or do a compression test.
What do you do now that your engine is rebuilt and still don't want to start?
At this point we need to drop back to the basics. Fuel, Compression, Ignition.First check for sparkThen check for fuelThen get out a compression gauge and check that.If we have the big three then You check the the spark happens at the correct time.From there check for intake restriction or leaks and exhaust being plugged. I have seen the Catalytic Converter overheat and fail when the engine goes bad causing a no start after the engine is repaired.

My first test would be a compression test, it takes special equipment as it is a dynamic not static compression test.
Why is white smoke coming out of the car's exhaust?
First, check your engine oil level- if the level reduces at agiven time-problem is that you have a loose compression. The white smoke is the product of combustion of air, gasoline, and engine oil due to the excessive wear on the engine's piston rings. Second, to confirm if you have a loose compression, go to your mechanic and ask for a compression test.
Engine cranks wont start fuel spark present?
Check engine compression Check engine timing
How do you check the compression of a small engine?
Box compression tester in Gujarat uses as a tool to check an engine's compression. It enables the user to gauge the engine's pressure output to make sure it is operating effectively. Compression testers are necessary for both detecting engine issues and optimizing engine configuration.

What would cause white smoke and oil coming out the exhaust in a 1984 dodge ram 360 engine?
A 1984 Dodge 360 blowing oil and white smoke could be a combination of problems. Check the engine oil for water mixed in, and for low engine coolant. Check the pcv valve for a clog. Check engine compression for a possible blown head gasket.

Why does aircooled engine blow white smoke?
White smoke will come out of a vehicle's exhaust system when the engine is cold. This is because of condensation build up in the engine and exhaust. The white smoke should go away after several minutes of idling. If you engine is always blowing white smoke, regardless of temperature, then it might be burning oil. Check the levels of your engine oil and your transmission fluid (if you have an automatic) and have the engine compression checked for blow-by.
