D16y8 98 civic ex headgasket replaced car cranks but wont start
I recently blew the HG on my 98 civic ex
I removed my cylinder head and took it to a machine shop because my heads aluminum and aluminum warps with heat long story short is before removing my cylinder head I did not turn my motor by hand to TDC I slipped my timing belt off the cam gear and slipped it back on connected everything back together torqued my head bolts down put it oil with coolant and a new battery and my car cranks but doesn't start . I tested for spark and I am getting spark and I can hear my fuel pump prime when the key is in the ignition my car cranks but it doesn't start and I believe I'm getting fuel too . I'm thinkin my timinf is off that's why it's not stating and their are no cel lights on . Is it possible I bent valves ? Or is my timing belt just not in time correctly? Please help it's my first time replacing a hg and I need help thank you

Well. First u need to take the valve cover off. Turn the engine by hand, to tdc. Then see how much timing is off. Then go from there.

thanks fo the reply , if it's at tdc on my cam gear wouldn't I have to check the bottom of my engine to near the water pump ? I feel like maybe it's just the top part is misaligned do i need to remove my timing belt and turn it by hand ? And then reinstall it ? I want to do a compression test just to make sure my valves aren't bent
