Okay So I got car to crank by hand, cylinders in the right position and the timing is perfect. So I go to start it and it doesn't start ill put a video up. I checked to make sure injectors were firing, they are and the spark plugs are getting gas. But when I try to turn the car on the lights dim and it wont run, (bad alternator???) I even try to jump it but it wont start. If it help I just installed a new water pump don't know if that would have anything to do with it but anyway and when I did that I cut the belt for the ac and took the one pulley out for it. help?? could it be a stupid sensor or something? ask me stuff if i have seen it or already tested for it to start the process of elimination

turn volume up on video so you can hear it

Hope that fixes your problem but once again I dont believe that it is the starter or the battery. Make sure you follow toke specs on that head and keep us updated.
