Default Rebuilt motor and now it won’t start

I recently had to replace literally ALL of my seals in my B18C1 due to a large oiling issue (rather a lack thereof) and i put everything back together, timed it properly, and now it won’t start. My firing order seems to be correct, i’m getting spark, and i’m getting fuel so i don’t know. I’m genuinely lost. I’ve torn down this motor before and put it back together and it had some trouble starting but it at least wanted to start, this POS just cranks now. I have compression, I have fuel, I have air, and i have spark so i’m not sure what’s happening…

Possible solution: Pull your spark plugs out, pour a little oil in the cylinders, then put the plugs back in and see if it tries starting.

Oh, and if your spark plugs are all dark and wet when you pull them out, try spraying a little starting fluid in the intake before starting.
