and the valves are not strong enough to beat the starter over either, the starter will gladly bend the shit out of them and keep cranking it.
What I'm not understanding is that I hand turned the engine and there was no issue. I engaged the starter and all of the sudden something seemed to change. Maybe my battery doesn't have enough amperage to drive the starter? It was turning slightly lower than usual (this car has not ran for two weeks before the head gasket install, and still wont fucking start)

this car still won't fucking start. its getting fuel and spark.
