I just changed the seals behind the cam gears cause they were leaking. I had to remove the starter and loosen the alt belt to do this cause i also had to take the crank pulley off so i could set the timing properly. I didnt take the cams out to do this and didnt remove anything with wires beside the battery.
I went to start it up and it sounds like the battery is dead but its showing a charge on my charger. It wont turn over at all and the lights and the radio work but it sounds like the battery is dead
Can anyone help????
TIA

Does the starter "click" at all?

Check ALL your fuses and wires (especially ones you might have disconnected while changing the seals) first...then check the ground and other connections on the starter. That usually solves it.

EDIT: ITR forum???

yeah, double check!

 

It turned out that the battery was very dry so i added some distilled water and charged it for 2 hours and when i went to start it it would only turn over if i gave it gas.
So i messed with the intake and throttle and got it to start
thanks for your help everyone

also BTW:
Is the t-belt suppose to wobble a little along the side by the exhaust manifold while the throttle is open?
