I did replace the head gasket, I was just wondering what the bad one suppose to look like. One thing I didn't replace is the timing belt. The new one did not fit. It is slightly smaller and I couldn't get it to fit. The old one still look decent, I checked it.

 

I am officially done installing all the parts that I wanted to replace, except for the catalytic converter and the timing belt. The cat I left out cause I don't want to get stop and ticketed and the timing belt did not fit and I felt that the old one was still in good shape by inspecting it. Now all I have to is get the car to start.

I don't know if it was from before I changed the head gasket when I was cleaning out the coolant with water and the water was getting in the engine or something else but I don't feel like engine is cranking, only the alternator. So what gives?

 

is it turning over? are you getting spark? is your fuel pump turning on?

 

Well, I can't test the sparks right now without someone to turn the key on for me. I do hear the gas pump when I turn the key. Now as for the car turning over, I can't be sure.

 

when you try to start it does the motor turn over???? does it try to start..
what exactly is it doing? have you rechecked all your wires,plugs,grounds,fusues ??

 

No, the motor doesn't sound like its trying to start, just the alternator that turns.
