B20 swap, no spark

when u set the timing, if your #1 piston was on BDC (bottom dead center) and not TDC (top dead center), ur internals are working backwards. ur intake stroke is going with the piston, while the head's doing the exhaust, and vice versa. obviously making runing quite difficult. just make sure you have all your timing marks lined up, and put like long chopsticks or something down the #1 spark plug hole to make sure the piston's all the way up, and not all the way down. if it's all the way down, pull the plugs, spin the crank a rotation by itself, and check again.

my explanation might suck, but either way, if it's 180 it wont work
