just like it says I got a reman cylinder head and changed all gaskets put everything back together and now wont start. So anybody have an idea as to what I address next? This is my sons car and I really want to get it going. Thanx in advance.
Could it be timing? camshaft position? Im pretty sure I got all the timing marks lined up. Distributor position? The search begins. |

Ok that's good, maybe if you are unsure of the timing marks you could remove top cover, turn it to TDC then take a picture of the cam sprocket and post it for confirmation. It seems like if you have spark and fuel, then it would have to be a valve or ignition timing issue causing this.
Also, I would check compression all cylinders should be above 170. This would tell you if the valve timing is off. To get a basic feel for it if you dont have a compression gauge try turning it over with a wrench at the crankshaft pulley and see if you feel the the cylinders building pressure.
