Take of the ECU pentastar connector or take off the dist to coil secondary wire at the dist end and ground it then crank it & see if you're good. As said this'll confirm/deny that it is a timing prob. I'd put a breaker bar on the crank bolt & check turning resistance and I'd take out the plugs and see if it turns fast and if doing these I'd for sure take off the intake & regoop the cam. After all of your investment I would not sweat a new bathtub gasket and a bit of labor and some even reuse them (not me though).



I turned it by hand earlier today, and it seemed good. I just went out and hooked a timing light up to see if it it's getting spark, and it's not, so I'll start there. I did mess with some wiring; relocated the battery to the trunk, put in a cut-off switch, and added a relay for the starter. None of that should have anything to do with it getting spark, but I'm going to go stare at it for awhile until something comes to me.
