Hi i recently did a head gasket replacement and low and behold ive done something wrong. Im fairly sure its the timing. It started and didnt have any power, tried adjusting it and now it wont start just keeps cranking. Any help is appreciated as this is my daily. 1993 2.3l lx

Hey did you ever get this figured out? Double and triple check the timing, I had occasions where I changed the timing belt and thought it was right, turned out it was a tooth off and wouldn't start.

Make sure the distributor rotor is pointing at the #1 terminal when you do it, also.
