engine will not start
so we all know i was a dumbass and blew my last motor. well i swapped in this new(used) motor and it wont start. i am getting fuel to my fuel rail, and i am getting sparks to my spark plugs and my motor is turning but wont start. i dont know what could be the problem. anyone have any ideas? i took off my valve cover and one of my lifters was off and just chillin. some of the lifters are loose. i am going to go to autozone and get one of those feeler gauges and tighten down all the lifters. could that be a problem? thanks in advance for all of your responses. and one more question - is there any possibility that i could be 180degrees off? thanks again

I didn't think it was possible to swap the distributor 180 degrees? Not on a D series anyways.

Re: engine will not start
I know when I installed a new cap and rotor in my D15, the rotor was designed so you could "accidentally" install it the wrong way. I spent a good ammount of time trying to figure out how I screwed up installing the rotor, because I too thought they only went 1 way. I can take pictures if anyone wants to see It's worth a simple check though if you suspect your timing might be off.

Re: engine will not start
we double looked at where the lifter was loose, and it looks like we have a frozen valve - i dont think that that would cause my engine not to start, but it is a posibility. i am sorry to say, but i am going to have to bring it a honda dealership and get it serviced. thanks for all your help
