car won't start, need help
i need help! my car won't start. it's a 5g coupe with 96 gsr. here's what's happening. i recently built the head..p/p, dual springs, retainers, etc...well, after putting everthing together, i fired it up. it started. i turn it off and went to sleep for the night. next day, tried starting it,now the car won't start! it'll try to start but it seems like it doesent have enough power to start... i check everything...got fuel, got spark, good ecu, good distributor(went through 3), timing on top dead, ...i also cheked compression and it seemed a bit low. 120 on 1 and 140 on 2. i didn't bother checkin the other 2. i know it can't be the rings, cuz i just rebuilted the bottom end, or could it?

If you indeed "just rebuilted" the bottom end, it very well could be the rings...especially if you do everything as well as you spell.
