How can you possibly have a camshaft 180 degrees off? (Think about it...)

I'll assume you weren't going to replace the headgasket just because it seemed like a fun way to spend a saturday, so, wtf is wrong with it? and do you think that might have something to do with it not starting?

and how far did you go with pulling the head off before you stopped? could your distributor be off 180? did you maybe forget to reconnect a ground wire somewhere?

and what car is it?

The starter cranks the engine, right?

Does the check-engine light turn on when you first turn on the key?

Spark plug wires back on the right order?

Anything disconnected - not only grounds?

Or do you just mean there's pressure & flow in the fuel rail? You can smell fuel at the tailpipe, or pull a spark plug right after cranking.

If the injectors are actually firing, then the CYP, TDC, etc... sensors in the distributor must be working OK. That's good to know...

Anyone know Sam Windsor?
https://honda-tech.com/zero...age=1

Pass him this message

"Your being a little *** now

Why arent you returning the calls or emails? Better yet, Dont show up for the court date Sam. You will be acquired by the Local PD and then forced to either pay me my money or forced to to community service to pay the fines off. Oh did I mention the lawsuit is upped to 5000 dollars now? Hope you or your mom is rich. Otherwise im going to have some nice souveniers, like everything you own Sam. Ill probably just take your hatch and saw zall it then part it out on ebay.

You will not win Sam. Stop messin around and give me my money. NOW

You know where to reach me"
