420A No start, I don’t have a similar problem than other people

[Just__cade]

Hello! I have been building my Eclipse for the past 8 months. I pulled my head and sent it in because of hearing valves knock, and received it back not too long ago. I did timing and it came out great, I’ve also connected every connector from the harness that was free and have plugged the 3 nipples and drive side pipe where they are supposed to go on the intake manifold as well.

I also got a new battery because I thought that, that could be an issue.
No luck, still won’t start. I have fuel, air, and spark, but no combustion. I have 2 videos from inside and outside.

The attached pictures are the parts I’ve replaced/upgraded, and I also got Brian Crower stage 2 SRT4 cams (my stock cams were rusty for sitting for months, and I just didn’t want rust inside the new decked head”)

If anyone has any tips, I’d appreciate it. Thank you!

You have no compression. You can hear it. During cranking there is no change in pitch. You did something wrong.

Did you reclock the dowel pins for the camshaft sprockets? The SRT has different timing and your engine will not have compression or run unless you drill the cams and install the dwel pins at 420A timing locations.

I actually had some help from a guy on Facebook, and it worked! But everything was fine until I put the aux back, ( harmonic balancer, ps, alternator, plus belts) and I’ve ran into this issue before when I found my valves were hitting before, it’s like with everything past the harmonic balancer put on, it won’t start, no codes either. It’s just a electric tick when I try to start it, it won’t even try

This is what it was like started, and then what it sounded like 2 hours later when I put everything on after work.

Thank you for the reply by the way, I see you in alot of the threads and you’re very knowledgeable!

I found out that my harmonic balancer was literally hitting my tensioner pulley bolt and now I’m looking into a mpx udp, and looking for the sizes as well, I saw your post on the belts that you’ve tested and got correct but I have ac in mine, can you only run that pulley without ac?

You can run it with A/C but need to measure for the correct belt size. I only ran without A/C but it will work fine.

Okay thank you!!! I’ll post when I get it probably
