Ok so I finally got my b18c1 swap done in my 90 si hatch. But I never actually got it to run, it almost did but it seemed like it was lacking cylinders and at one point it actually seemed like it was going to start idleing. Then while starting it, the head started leaking really bad from the back. CAUSE: LS HEAD GASKET NOT GSR(leaked from oil tunnel thats right next to stud hole by dizzy) So while pulling my head back off and waiting for a new GSR gasket, I checked what I could, timing was perfect and what not, but when I pulled the plugs only 2 plugs looked like they were firing, and the other 2 barely had any evidence of them firing, what could cause this?? Ignition timing or possibly valves stuck closed or open?? I really need to know cause I just slapped the head back on with new gasket, belt and torqued it down. But now its just bugging me that it could be the head or something ahhhh.... dammit so hopefully someone has some wisdom for me asap, thanx guys.

So my **** still won't start, and I think its only firing the #1 and #4 cylinders. Timing is perfect, dizzy still needs adjustment. When I tried to check for a CEL code the engine light came on but stayed on and didn't blink anything, ecu fried maybe?. If anyone can help please do, cause I don't know what to do right now. Could the IAC or IAB keep it form firing right?? or maybe the map sensor??
