Hello Everyone,
I'm new here this is my 1st post please be patient...

I have a 2011 HHR LT 2.2 VVT engine 135,000 miles the timing chain tensioner locked up causing the head to break every single rocker arm. I pulled the head and found 2 bent valves so I ordered a replacement head installed it installed all new timing chain sprockets and tensioners gears and balancer chain and gears set @ 12:00 and 6:00 and 6:00as well as all guides etc everything. I set the timing Crank @ 12:00 VVT cams at 10 and 2 replaced camshaft sensors, crankshaft Solenoids. engine turns fine but will not start I have Fuel at the rail I have fire on all 4 plugs the head is the exact same head I took the numbers off the old head and ordered a rebuilt head with the exact same numbers stamped on it. I have check the timing 5 times to make sure I am correct. so now I am lost any help would be wonderful. Thanks
