well, I check the wires for spark with a spark testor, and at first I wasn't getting any in two cylinders, but I fixed that. and I teseted the injectors with a multimeter, but Im not sure exactly what numbers im looking for and what setting I should have it on. so any info on that would be apperciated. as for the headgasket, I just replaced it. cuz the car was overheating. however, im not sure about compression... havn't tested that yet....

I replaced the headgasket cuz the car was overheating, cuz the fan stoped working, so it warped the head. so I had the head resurfaced and replaced the head gasket.

Have you checked your starter? Or, did you accidentally switch up the order of your wires?

If you're getting fuel and spark, and the plug wires are in the right order, then it'll at least attempt to fire. Are you sure the cams are in phase? If you have one 180* off, then it may not even attempt to fire. Hhave you done a compression test?
