help!!! b18b motor will not start after head swap.
i replace a new b18b head because the old one has a burnt valve. i replace the head gasket and intake manifold gasket and slap the head on.
the pistons were set TDC
cams were set at TDC
the dizzy arrow point at cylinder #1
i got sparks from the plugs
i got fuel cuz the spark plugs are wet
i check all the grounds, they're good
starter works
when i tried to start the car, the engine just turn and turn and turn. it feels like the car starts like a hybrid car.
could it be no compression on all the cylinders????
i need some help!!!!!

the head is pretty good. no leaks or anything. my previous head was all messed up with burnt valves and starts up and drive.

could be an electrical problem.check over the easy things first. don't waste your time taking that head on and off if you dont have to
