Ok so ive finished rebuilding the head on my m42.

However now the car wont start.

She is turning over but wont fire, i have a spark and i am getting fuel to the plugs. Its turning over healthily!

Anyone have any ideas? Hope i havent made any bad mistakes!

there is white smoke coming from the throttle body, pulled the rubber hose that connects throttle body and air flow meter, and pulled throttle cable to open throttle body and some smoke is coming out. Anyone know what could be causing this?

had one of the spark plugs out just to make sure it was sparking, and whilst turning over thr was like a wisp/bang and a bellow of whitish/bluish smoke came up the spark plug hole and out of the throttle body?

What the hell is going on?

anyone?

sounds like a timing issue to me

Check what he said down there vvvv

Same here, check the engine timing and makre sure you have the ignition leads on the right way.
