   Righto chaps,
   
   Recently done a headgasket change on my 'R and changed stem seals, put all engine back together bolt for bolt and wire for wire. Then marked timing up on car and changed timing belt and tensioner, however after doing this the car won't fire up now, turns over and what not, fuels getting through and spark plugs are sparking, just not firing up.
   
   Any and all help is appreciated.
   
   Cheers,
   
   Mal.

   make sure that your not 180 degrees out on the cam, and make sure that all the connections are made properly, could be where youve pulled it off its disturbed the connection, and also make sure theres no kinks in the fuel line, also when you turn the key does the fuel pump run?

   I've checked everything, I've had cam and flywheel both at tdc but still not firing up. Seems as though theres no compression -.- will have another tackle tomorrow, also checked all connections and double checked all are fine, fuel is getting through and spark plugs are working and getting fuel so I know it not that
