Q: I changed head gasket mounted everything to original spot put it on time turns over but won't fire
So my head gasket went out and I took pictures of engine and each part I removed. I marked my cams to put back in proper place. So I reinstalled each thing to the T and the car turns over but won't start. I timed it twice and still nothing. Is their a proper way to set the cams so it will start and run?
