put engine back in now wont start
hi some of you may know i snaped a camshaft so had to replace head all been done fine put engine back in and now wont fire up and the only thing i may have done wrong is that when i painted the inlet i got the purge valve pipes mixed up well thats what i think it is called sits under the inlet but now were i was turning it over the starter burnt out so even more problems also would the purge valve stop it starting if the pipes are on the wrong way round

when i timed it up it looked exsactley how it was when i removed and i double checked it a few times also was getting dark when trying to start it so going to try and check spark today also got petrol going thru but i was thinking the wires that go onto the inlet manifold at the back may not have a good connection were inlet was painted could this stop it starting also what are they?

just earth wires for various things one been the starter, but then again you said the starter was working but then burnt out... they are earth wires and they could stop it.

yeepeee
iv found what iv done i timed it up like any other cars iv done and that was TDC then i found out that you dont do it like this now hopefully it should run when i get a starter
but the thing is when i turned it over by hand when i first timed it up it didnt lock ect so does this mean the valves should be ok still
