Please help, need to be in sc rn
I need help ASAP! I just changed my head gasket so I can go to South Carolina and spend Christmas with my family and it’s NOT starting!! I did it like it’s supposed to be done and have gone back and double checked everything! Idk why it’s not starting! Had found the groomet from a spark plug puller on top for spark plug 4 so it wouldn’t allow a good connection with the wire, thought this was the problem, went back and tried and still not turning over. Motor is cranking as it should. Timing is CORRECT! All connections and hoses reconnected PROPERLY. I had my oil temp sensor rust out and break during install, finally got around to getting this replaced. Had to cut and rewire sensor connector to it because auto part store needed to see it. This may be an issue?? But there’s no telling. Wire was redone correctly(I am a true audiophile and have wired up numerous sub setups and have completely rewired and installed countless audio systems.) Went back and made sure all spark plugs were arching, they seemed to be. Checked fuel rail and it seems to have fuel in it. Had my woman crank it while all spark plugs were out and I watched to see if it was flooding, nothing came out of spark plug holes. Not sure what’s going on!! Any and all information would be gratefully appreciated as I am just trying to spend the holidays with my family!

Firing order correct? 1-3-4-2 around the cap? Ordered in the right direction too?

Check your grounds, I missed the ground from the chassis to the head and mine didn't start one time.

I know I’m gonna sound dumb but how do I go about checking that? Could possibly be the issue. Ik spark plug wires are in the right places and timing is correct

Ground is on. Even added a hyperground under the starter bolt to my chassis, didn’t do anything.

Re: Please help, need to be in sc rn
Mechanical timing may be fine, but have you checked ignition timing? Or did you already get it figured out and haven't updated?
Have you checked compression?

Had to add a hyperground, for whatever reason the motor wasn’t grounding out very well.

Doh, that sucks that it was something so small. Glad you got it all figured out though.
