i replace a new b18b head because the old one has a burnt valve. i replace the head gasket and intake manifold gasket and slap the head on.

the pistons were set TDC
cams were set at TDC
the dizzy arrow point at cylinder #1
i got sparks from the plugs
i got fuel cuz the spark plugs are wet
i check all the grounds, they're good
starter works

when i tried to start the car, the engine just turn and turn and turn. it feels like the car starts like a hybrid car.

could it be no compression on all the cylinders????

i need some help!!!!!

 

do a compression and leak down test. do you know if your new head is good?

 

the head is pretty good. no leaks or anything. my previous head was all messed up with burnt valves and starts up and drive.

 

doing compression test tonight

 

did you put you spark plug wires in the right order pluged into the dizzy ? that could be your problem.

 

Check firing order, 1-3-4-2 from the bottom left on the dizzy.

 

yeah its

1 3
2 4

all i hear is whining of the starter

 

car is still dead

 

is the starter even turning the motor? maybe it is not turning the flywheel... you said its just whining...

 

make sure the head is torqued down right...

 

the starter is firing and turning cuz i took it out and test it.

the head is torque down to 65lbs

 

i just put teh old head back, still no sign of starting up.
it keeps turning and turning

i used a diff dizzy, new plugs, new wires from a working car.

now im clueless

*working on this engine while the fire in san diego is going on too*.fuckkk

bump cause i hate when **** like this happens to me.

 

ok first of all check to make sure the timing belt is on right. and then its gotta be the fuel system if the electrucal still works check ur fuel pressure .

 

could be an electrical problem.check over the easy things first. don't waste your time taking that head on and off if you dont have to

 

the weird thing is that i didnt even touch any electrical stuff when i replace teh head gasket.
