Ive swapped the head on my 20xe over for a rebuilt ported polished one, got everything connected back up etc, but it won't start it'l just crank over!
Leads are on the correct spark plugs and all grounds and plugs are connected

timing right? if its 180 deg out it will turn over ok but wont fire.
if its not that, are you getting sparks and fuel?

tapping is normal, lifters just need to get some oil in them, as is smokey manifold, you will have touched it with oily hands when it was off.
