Okay so I’m resorting to the forums. Recently I replaced the head gasket on my s13 with a ka-t. I threw the thing back together and didn’t really pay the timing any mind. Soon after I realized that was a big mistake. I then took the whole timing assembly apart and put it back together matching the lower and upper chain with the correct dots on the corresponding links. I also made sure I was at true TDC when doing all this. I tried putting the distributor in multiple positions including the position I‘ve read it should be in (the dot on the gear lines up with the notch on the shaft of the distributor). I have brain crower stage 2 265 cams with adjustable gears but I just put the gears at the stock position. The car turns over but won’t fire or run at all. It’s getting fuel and spark, and after checking the #1 plug after attempting to start there is fuel on the plug. The exhaust also smells like good ole 93. Any help at all would be awesome.
