Hi
A friend brought me his Vauxhall Astra 1.3 OHC to replace his head gasket.
We cleaned everyhting up, torqued it down correctly, replaced timing belt and everyhting and then it didn't start.
There are sparks on the spark plugs, compression testing shows no problem, fuel flow is OK, timing marks are aligned.
Any ideas? This is really frustrating because I have spent a whole day just trying to get it to start.
Any help welcome,
cheers,
