Replaced head all other work done as well while it was out. Because of Anna’s head gasket.
Timings on engines been turned over by hand 6 times. Reconnected all electrical and this is what it’s doing. Thoughts?

Sounds like a flat battery or poor elec connection, bad ground somewhere.
Break out the meter and read the battery v, then read the big red cable at the solenoid.
make sure the engine turns freely by hand.

Well found the issue. Well, one that led to another.
The battery even though charged to 100% wasn’t giving enough. I put a known good battery on it and it lasted long enough to find out there’s compression loss in #2 & #4. Everything is new so I’m guessing the timing is off?
We have fuel at the rail, injectors and spark in all five cylinders. 1,3,5 have compression.
So we are onto the next….
Thank you.

did you not rotate the engine by hand (twice) before trying to start it?
its standard practice in order to check for interference.

Rolled it over 5-6 times.
