I have been trying to get my 240sx going again. So I rebuilt the engine and i had to use a s13 head because the s*** aluminum head (stripped the idle sprocket while torquing it to spec). I didn't have cams for the s13 head so I used the s14 cams. I got it all in made sure the cams were set parallel to each other. go to start it and I hear 1 misfire and after that just the engine cranking. I have fuel and spark. I have taken it off and put it back on about 20 times. I was wondering if the cams are different or go in different than the s13. I am just trying to save myself 1000 bucks.

I do believe your timing is off on the cams. They will work (S14 in your S13) but you got to line them up correctly and use the timing marks. Are you using an FSM?
