Added B-series cams, wont start. Any Idea?

B16 VTEC head
B18C bottom
CTR pistons

I just dropped in CTR intake cams, ITR Exhaust cams, and while i was down there, i did a valve adjustment (5mm intake, 7mm exhaust)

Now it'll crank, but it wont fire and the motor will sieze when i step on the gas.

Any ideas on how to go about this problem?

So all you did was cams and valve adjustment? I would guess your timing is off if thats all you did and now it dont start.

Check your timing marks and set your lash to 7in and 8ex

your timing is most likely off, also, use factory valve lash specs with ctr cams.
