Re: GP wont start

So the motor cranks or not? Was the upper intake manifold inspected and/or replaced when the head gaskets were done? Its possible the Upper intake melted and allowed coolant to fill combustion chambers. This could hydrolock a motor and could cause serious issues like bent connecting rods.

If the car doesn't crank, I'd remove the spark plugs and then see if you can crank it over.
