I recently had a 3 angle valve job and new valve guide seals put on my 94 Mitsubishi 3000GT. I disassembled and reassembled the heads myself and put all new gaskets and seals on every part I took off. After it was all put together I attempted to start it and nothing. I checked for timing and it was a tooth off on one cam so I retimed it..still nothing. I checked spark on every plug with a spark tester (all spark), fuel psi was within spec, fuel is getting to the cylinder, timing is dead on, and nothing is restricting air flow. I noticed however that coolant was leaking from the back bank of the right corner and no where else. After fooling with it myself for a month I took it to a mechanic recommended by an associate. He has finally come to the conclusion that the valves are bent. In his explaination the coolant leak was his proof that they were bent. I, however, am extremely sceptical of that alligation. It's been too long since this thing has been running and I would appreciate any insight you might have. Thank you in advance for the help.
