so the timing is perfect.. the starter grabs the flywheel and it spins but it doesn't crank.. what could be the problem? could it be that i'm not getting compression? cuz i took off the head and when i turn the crank pulley with my rachet it just turns.. there is no pressure at all.. again.. timing is perfect.. the starter only spins, and it does grab the flywheel cuz i can see my cam gears spinning but it doesn't crank....? any thoughts..

 

If you have little to no resistance when turning the crank nut by hand, and your spark plugs are installed (don't laugh, I've forgotten and panicked before! ), you've got something terribly wrong inside. Are there any strange noises turning it over by hand?

i ahve little resistant and no noises when turning.. and yes plugs are in... what you think can be wrong.. only happened after i installed my head...

 

I just had the flywheel bolts come out of my brother B16 CRX. Are you sure you have compression? Check it with a gauge.

 

make sure you check all your head bolts. sounds dumb but i've done it b-4 lemme know what happens if they're all tightened i'll see what i can find out.

they are all tightened down.. would it matter if it was more than it should be? cuz i didn't have my ratchet thing for my torque wrench and i just tigthened it and i checked it last night and it was well over the 60lbs... thanks

 

you may be squeezing your gasket down to far. take off the head and check the gasket and bolt. also check the head for cracks etc. etc.
