Sounds like hydrolock have you taken the plugs out and cranked it over yet?

I've not taken them out to try yet I'm going to try it over the weekend I'm just a bit worried to try because if it don't work then I don't no what it could be I've waited 30 years for a turbo no I have 1 I just want to hear it fire up Ang get out on the road with it could it be anything else or is that the Likely thing when I took the injector out to put new seals on the hole was full or petrol just pouring out of it

Make sure to use the right size socket for spark plugs,I forget what it is but the socket holes are tapered and if it's too fat it will get stuck.
I did it and it took me a couple of days of ingenious ideas to get it out.

If the crank turns by hand easily enough then i doubt its hydrolocking, to whip a plug out you need a 3/8 spark plug socket as the 1/2 ones get stuck in the head.

Just changed the 2 rubber rings for 2 new 1ns it was the 1st 1 on drivers side so easy to get to and take out without having to take the whole rail off it started about 5 mins b4 we did it fine then after it was put back in the engine just makes a clonk sound and does nothing
