Hi, broke a timing belt. Put on a new head and replaced belts, gaskets and everything and it started right up and ran nice but was smoking from an oil leak. Found out the new head did not have a round cam gasket seal and it leaked oil out that location and onto the exhaust. Fixed that with a new seal and had everything timed and ready to restart. Here is where the problem happened. I forgot to remove the injector pump stud that locks the injector pump at top dead center. I turned the key and engine clicked about 3 to 4 times and I immediately turned off the key. I felt sick when I saw that locking stud. The injector pump had not moved. The cam had not moved but the engine had moved about half a turn forward. I removed the gear wheel from the cam and turned the engine back till it was at top dead center with timing on the fly wheel and with the cam in perfect placement and injector pump locked. Put back the gear and tightened everything up and tensioners adjusted and everything perfect. Took out the injector lock stud and with everything done, went to turn on the engine. It turned over perfectly with the starter but will not fire and start - not even try. Everything just turns and turns and turns and no firing up and starting.
I feel sick and soooooo sad. Any one know anything that could be wrong that I have overlooked??? Any suggestions??? It was running so nice except for that oil leak that I then fixed and now nothing.
Please help.
