Won't start after fixing head. 700 1990

posted by  someone claiming to be Geoffrie on  Fri Sep 27 17:36 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Hi, I have a 90 780 turbo. I finally got my head back from the shop (2 weeks)and I finished putting the engine all back together. I'm pretty sure I did everything right, but the car won't start. It cranks, but nothing realy happens. I bought the car from an auction not running, So I don't know any of the history. I also didn't get the car running before tearing the head off. The head was warped badly, but it's now basicly new.

I finished it late (8:00) so I didn't mess with it much before calling it quits. I did make sure I didn't install the dist. backwards, and I replaced the plugs. looking at the dist. from the passenger side, the 1st wire goes to cyl. #1, 2-2,3-4,4-3 - right? I got the timing belt all lined up properly too. I don't know the history of the car, (i have never seen it run) so It could be anything. Plus I'm new to volvo's - where to start?

Thanks for any help,
Jeff Thompson
