engine hits but wont run

[justcompton]

I didnt wont to start a new thread but I searched and didnt find anything to help me so here it is. I bought the car with a bad front crank seal so I replaced it, the car ran before I did this, I took the alternator off when I replaced the seal and it was stolen, so I dont have one at the moment, and I also had to replaced the fuel pump, it was dead, so now when I try to start the engine it hits at first but wont hit again until I turn the key off and do it again, I'm getting fuel and fire so I dont know what else to look for. Any help would be nice.

I also took the cas out to see if my fuel pump was dead, and my timming is dead on

compression test! Possible valve issues? Let us know the results and go from there.

did compression test, #1-133, #2-132, #3-132, #4-132
this is a new rebuilt motor from karkings.com with not even a mile on it

so I changed the fuel filter and gaped the spark plugs and got it to fire, but now its leaking oil again. I thought it was the front seal but I guess not. I dont know what else it could be, leaking this bad you would think theres a hole in the front case but no, any ideas?

could be the o ring on the oil pump or even worse the rear main seal

You lost me on this one.

There is a fuel pump test port you can use to see if you are getting fuel pressure. Shouldn't need to touch the CAS.

Double-check everything you did. Sounds like you may have missed something when putting it back together.

Good luck!
