I adjusted the valves to .018 already. This is a B18-style iron-body bosch distributor w/o vacuum advance so I can't make the mistake you descibe.

As I noted, I have fuel, I have spark, and I have compression in all four cylinders. But something is not right. Either the timing is still *really* off (which I doubt because the engine ran fine with this setup before I pulled the head) or I'm overlooking somthing really critical yet not obvious. Even with my timing screwed up, it should still fire or misfire with all this cranking.

Is it possible that I could be getting a pulse to my plugs without actually creating a spark? I've tried two sets of ngk plugs so far.
