hello
iam new to the forum. and would like to say thanks for all the great information available. i have had the task of replacing the head gasket on my 2005 nissan sentra se 1.8l just finished putting the car back together and can not get it to start. i purchased the service manuals and researched the forum for info before i started. marked my timing chain,sprockets. had then engine on #1tdc and had the crankpulley and pointer on the 1st mark. once i pulled the head i double checked the tdc and markings it acts like it wants to start but just will not fire off have pulled a plug it is wet so it is getting fuel have not checked the spark yet i cant see from the drivers side to the engine bay while cranking the engine. i know i may be taking the valve cover off again to double check the timing unless there is something else that i need to do.
thanks
