i just recently got my b16 completely built and i got it back put it in the car and got it all ready and went to crank it over and it cranks over but wont start and when its cranking it kinda makes a whining noise and also makes like a clicking noise not fast and constant it like click..click..click..click when its turning over sounds like its coming from the head? my fuel pump turns on and i have fuel pressure, im getting spark but havent really messed with ignition timing? i havent checked my fuel filter but it could be so clogged it wont start right? i thing it is more than likely a timing issue...they were supposed to time it but they could have forgot to do it...i would just like to know if anyone has ever came across this or can help me out???

Who built a motor for you? A shop or a friend? What kind of mods are done to the motor?The clicking noise is definately not good!I hope you didn't bent the valves!Remove the valve cover and check the timing.Give us some news!

do a compression and leak down test

Do you have adjustable cam gears?Definetly check compression.I wouldn't check too many things because after the shop will say that you are the one that did it.Take it there as fast as possible.
