Check for correctly earthed engine on #1 short head bolt, spark & fuel. If they are OK, it should start. If one/both don't work, do a fault scan

Do you have spark ?? Are you sure the plugs are wet from fuel ??
It should be either spark or fuel ?? Borrow or buy a noid light and plug into an injector connector... Check that all the loom connections are well pushed in... Check smartlock or internal / S/L fuse ???

yer man its strong spark, yer plugs were completely wet, quite confident that all the plugs are in. think smartlock is fine. seems like timing as its trying to kick over.

Are you 180 degrees out with the dizzy?
Remember theres 2 TDC's for one complete engine revolution. How far was the engine stripped? Did the cam come out for some reason? Or was it just simply heads off, then back on?
