Default Heads/Cam help! Urgent!
Well I just finished my heads/cam swap and went to go fire it up and it wouldnt catch. You can hear it trying to catch. After trying to start it a few times, all it would do is make a louad screech sound now. Any ideas?

You held the key on for like .75 seconds, let off the key, and before the engine quit spinning, you hit the key again. Of course it's going to grind!
