Please help....just did head swap-won't start??

[Silver98Stang]

I just put 2004 GT head swap kit on my 98 and now when I go to start it just gives me one loud click. Like the starter only it seems to me like it is louder. Been working on this SOB for a while and am frustrated. Can anyone help.

Thanks

try beating the crap out of your starter with a pry bar or something, then try and start is. if that doesnt work hit it while someone crankes it. BTW make sure your battery has enough juice.

Its new heads right? I hope you torqued everything down to what it should be.

I second the battery idea. When I did mine it clicked also and I thought my motor was frozen but we then jumped it and it started to breathe. Turns out that my battery was toast and a new optima red top has been turning it over fine for about a year now. Good luck!

Is it a click or a clunk??
