car wont turn over

[american-rice]

Well, its been over a year since the car (90 talon TSI) has been running, skipped tooth and bent the valves. I replaced a long list of parts, head, cams, belt water pump, catch can, springs and retainers, lifters, hoses, and vacuum lines eliminated. Anyway today i made my first attempt to turn key, and the car cranks, and trys to turn and i read 40+ fuel pressure but it wont turn. I double checked even triple checked my timing before today, and I felt I did a thorough job on the vacuum removal. If anyone has a suggestion or idea that could help it would be appriciated.

If it wont turn by hand pistons are hitting the valves did you follow vfaq.com when you timed it?

sounds like a similiar problem that i had. recheck timing and do a compression test and a leak test and that should point you in the right direction.

The cam gears are turning and the belts and everything is turning properly. And from what i can tell there is fuel present.

Check compression timing marks ok, but check compression anyway.

I just checked for spark with an inline bulb between the sparkplug and the plug. The first crank gets a spark, but after that nothing. 1-4 all the same. So i checked the coil pack resistance 1 to 4 and 3 to 2, they all checked out fine at 12k ohms, i checked the sparkplug wire too and they all were less than 9k. spark i believe is the sole problem. Any knowledgable advice on coil packs?
