Default Mojave Shake

I just got my mojave back together from a re-ring and it shakes terrible I mean BAD what could be the problem, I knwo their is a wudruff key in the left balancer but I hope it's not a bent crank. This thing won't rev and it very sluggish due to the shake

You might want to double check the cam timing.

Not to concern you, but if the timing on the cam was off the valves could of been hitting the top of the piston. When you take it apart double check the valves and lifters, along with clearance.

If all it got was rings then the woodruff key and other things in the bottom end shouldn't have been touched.

There should be 43 links between the 2 "dots on the cam gears with the crank "t" lined up with the groove (you will find this after you remove the upper plastic plug on the left side of the case).

The exhaust "dot" should be just above the top of the valve cover gasket area. The intake is 6 deg above the same place on the opposite side, or 43 links.

Sorry I'm terrible with explaining things, HTH
