	Once you get the basic diagnosis stuff out the way, do a compression test. That'll shed at least a bit of light on the state of head gasket / rings / piston failure / world war 3 / whats for tea. The cams are moving because the starter motor is turning the engine over. You might not be getting a fuel feed if the electrical side is ok.

	even if the head gasket was gone, or oil in the water it would still fire up. Are all your HT leads connected, are your plugs ok? yadda yadda

	the head gasket could of gone between a water gallery & the bore, so oil wont be contaminated. get the head skimmed & a new headgasget on

	the car does need a new water pump so i was told, the rad in it is OK its from a Corsa Gsi, the car was running for about 30 seconds with no water i left it twelve hours (as i towed it home) then put water in it it tock about 3.5 to 4 litres..... and went to start it but it will tick over but not fire in to life the cams and that are all moving but not firing in to life.... there is no oil or water mixed in the engine as the oil cap and inside is clean also the oil on the sump looks good.... any advice would be great :thumbs: [Edited on 09-01-2004 by Ryan81] [Edited on 11-01-2004 by Ryan81]
