Default my car wont start

Ever since the swap my civic gsr hasnt started everytime i try it kinda sounds as if it does a series of backfires. coluld it be because i am trying to start this car without a exhaust system all i have is headers and nothing after that. i also changed my oil and after trying to start my car for like 4 days straight i check my dipstick and it showsd that i dont have taht much oil all of a sudden. and then i check my spark plugs and they are covered in black oil. idk what to do it could be a blown head gasket or blown motor but im pretty sure its neither i had my engine tilted one side down when it was hanging on the hoist. it was in this position for liek a week and i remember a small amount of oil was coming out of the inatke mnanifold liek out the throttle body what does this all mean i need hellpp and i need diagrams and pictures of where my coolant and vaccuum lines gooo HELP ME PLASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Possible bad o rings or head gasket fouling the spark plugs. Try new plugs and clean the wires.

Also look at the spark plug tube seals, make sure they're all there and in good condition.
