just rebuilt after radiator hose break, water blew into air filter/intake, manifolds, heads, cylinders; poured water out of front exhaust manifold. Checked heads, I was going to replace gaskets prior to this happening due to water leaking from intake/head area.
Engine was put back together, torqued to specs. Although heads were considered within tolerances, front head bolts were a bit bent. Could this cause head to bolt up a bit unsquare.
I've tried to start it, plenty of spark; feeling that the water may have shorted out the electronics I replaced Ignition control (under coils), and coils, plugs & wires, checked all sensors for connections/voltage check. Good rotation speed but no start. Fuel injectors were also cleaned & new O-rings.
Should I just replace the heads with remanufactured ones? And new head bolts?
