i have a 1996 240 sx se with the kade, i recently had some head work done and wen i put the head back on all seemed by the book, untill i tried to start her. nothing happened. i mean she turned over but no fire. i know im getting spark, i know im getting fuel, i know im getting air, wat gives??? i think the timing chain might have slipped on the crank sprocket durring instalation. how do i get the front cover of the motor off so i can check it? or do i have to???

i think what he means is take your valve cover off, set #1 at top dead centre, and take a pic of the cams
