Did you line up the white mark on your crank pulley with the timing pointer on the cover?

 

thank u everyone for ur help i did line the cranshaft to tdc on the first piston the one mistake i discoverd is that one of the camshafts was line up accross but it was pointing in the 3 position

but i fixed it up and she fired up like nothing

 

I hope you torqued your bearing caps. If not, they will freeze on you eventually. If you can make the mistake of not indexing the cams... I wouldnt doubt that you would be capable of that. Please check. This creates oil pressure for the head across the tree and very important for engine health. 19-20ft-lbs on the 12mms, 8ft-lbs on the 10mms. If you didnt do this, chances are you have about 500 miles to make funeral arrangements for your engine.
