just swapped in a jdm b18c into a civic ex and when i came to start the car up the first time it cranked/sparked, but it didn't start up and blew out **** load of smoke from the exhaust since there was oil in the cylinders during compression test. now the car only cranks, but it doesnt spark. the previous shop i purchased the motor from put oil inside the cylinders for a compression test so could the spark plugs be covered up in oil or could it be the coil inside the distributor? any other suggestions???!!!! also when i was cranking the car up some of the intake manifold vacuum lines were not plugged in could that be another issue lol ?


HELP!!


Here are some pictures during the process.








Now this bitch needs to start up!

you probably fried the coil or rotor during the compression test. did you take the spark plug wires off the dizzy side during compression test?
