Burnt a piston cylinder number one. Overhauled the engine, the engine swings and it swings to the point that it wants to start, but does not. Checked the crank sensor, it is okay. Check the injectors and that is fine. Checked the cam timing and it is right, and still the car does not want to start. Need expert advise.

With any new engine we need to see if there is compression before going any further. Here is a guide to help:

Please let us know what happens.
