this morning i went to start by car but the engine just kept on turning
i tried to bump it a few times but it still wouldn't start
i checked the engine over and found lots of gunk blocking the pipe between the rocker cover and the carb (i think ) i cleaned it out but by that time my battery was dead and i have had to leave the car at work
i have charged the battery up should it start now
would that pipe being blocked stop the car from starting and what could of caused it (cracked head gasket ?)
there is no oil in the coolant and no gunk on the oil cap or dip stick
