ok so i blew my headgasket. me and my mechanic took off the head and replaced every gasket.also got it new valves and the head to the machine shop.after putting the car back together it turns and instantlly dies. it turns has heavy vibration. also put in new timing belt. ithink only 2of the 4 pistons may actually be working. please help. ialso noticed 2 of my fuel injectors look pretty beat up and in need of new ones.help?
 
It sounds like your timing is off. Make sure the dowel pins on the cam gears are pointed up. Also make sure the crank sensor got plugged back in. Its near the bottom under the manifold and Ive found it gets forgotten.
 
I agree my bets on cam timing but who knows maybe your ignition timing is way out of wake or firing order is messed up
 
Went/ Going threw the same thing with a friends car. He called me over and shure enough timing was off start by checking the timing marks and making shure you are getting spark. Then go over the fireing order and check that.
