Won't start after change of timingbelt

Are you sure that you are bring the engine to TDC, number 1 cylinder firing?

You probably havent installed the spark plug wires correctly, when all marks align you should have spark at cylinder 1. No 1. is the cylinder closest to the cambelt.

The distributor should point to number one, not four.

Did the marks line up like this?

Yes, the crankshaft are in position TDC.

No 1 is at the front of the engine no 4 is at the rear. Check on Turbobricks for ignition lead diagram that you have the right lead going to the right plug. If the leads do not go to the correct plugs you are likely to have the timing 180degrees out and a no run condition.

All the best, Peter.

Leave the marks as they are. Pull the distributor, turn the rotor 180* and reinstall.
