Default valve gasket fixed, now won't turn over?

So lastnight I was driving and came home, poped the hood and saw oil spitting everwhere, I guess my friend didn't put the valve gasket on right then I took it off and re-did that **** and it so it didn't turn over for a few clicks finally it did, drove it around it was fine.... come to this morning, took out my sparkplugs and got the oil out of them and put them all back in now it wont turn over, I just keep getting clicks.


my battery is fine, and all of my grounds as well.


if anybody had this happen let me know what to do

Check your wires as well. If oil was getting into the spark plug holes and they got on your spark plugs, your wires might have gotten hella oil on them as well. Also maybe your spark plugs are hella fouled. Maybe go pick up some cheap spark plugs and try them out.

That happened to me before...my brother failed to put the gaskets back when I had him change my valve cover. Don't ask me why but he did. Anyway, we cleaned visible oil and got it to start and run for a while but we DIDN'T take the plugs off to clean there too. Somehow, it broke my msd and distributor in the process. Must've been because of current jumping all over the place because of oil in the sparkplugs.

Yeah, I Cleaned all the sparkplugs and the wires, but I figured most of it out, my battery was going dead so I guess my alt. is going out.
