So I just put a new exhaust cam in my b16 and I checked the adjustment of the valves they were good and set the timing now it wont start.
If one or more of the valves is bent will that keep it from starting?
I need help becuase i dont know what to do anymore i can hear the starter and see the cams turn when i turn the key but it wont turn over any help?? please?

bent valves will prevent pressure from building in that cylinder. no compression = no start. I'd do a quick compression test on each cylinder.

Its going to be hard to do one without the motor running, needs to be at running temp to be accurate :( I would try to do a leak down on each cylinder :thumb:
