Hello all, I have a 2003 S-Type 3.0 that had a blown head gasket. I have replaced all necessary parts and now the car won't start. The car was still running when I started the breakdown. I have had heads redone, replaced all timing chain cover gaskets, head gaskets, valve cover gaskets, oil, antifreeze and spark plugs. I set the timing from info gained here. The car turns over but won't start. I'm presently having the battery charged. All help greatly appreciated. Any ideas?

Often it's something related to the work done - a harness that's pulled off a connector or whose insulation decided to flake off or whatever.
You'll of course need proper battery power. Then it's just a petrol engine (air, fuel, compression, spark, you know the stuff), so diagnose same as any other.

Hello all, started on the car again today. It turns out the timing is off as suggested. I replaced the timing chain, however the chains didn't have the timing marks on them. I used a counting of links to set the timing which obviously was incorrect. Does anyone know the correct number of links or another way to set the correct timing? Thanks in advance.
