90 240SX SOHC Fron Cover Leak & Not Cranking Problem

[DaydreamDrifter]

Front engine cover leaked oil so, I removed it and cleaned it, trying to fix a small oil leak and now it is much much worse. It seems to be between the two mountian bolts about the top oil seal. I am using new oil seals between the block and cover though. New front mail oil seal. I took the PCV box checked to see if it was flush. Check PCV to see if it was stuck. Checked the front cover for trueness too. Put four heli-coils for the head to front cover bolts holes to fix any potential leak there. I have the head gastket cut off flush with the block. Tried Nissan red sealant, black can RTV, carquest supler black RTV.

So i've been very busy this past week and a half. But I have my front cover back on again for the 5th time as of late and the engine won't crank. It turns over fast. I have spark, fuel. 100% positive dist. is aligned. Haven't had this problem the last four time I got this thing put back together over the past 1 1/2 weeks.

Please help i need my car back on the road asap.

And that is where my leak is! Found it! I cut it once the front cover mangled it once too many times.

Also i was on TDC on the exhaust stoke.
