[a2-16v-list] OT Headgasket job prob

[John Lagnese]

Hi,
Working on my daily driver,  a 91 Jetta GL 1.8L. Changed the headgasket and
no fire now, I'm getting compression, gas and spark. I even used some ether
and not so much as a catch. I also reste the timing belt several times. I
was using the outside mark on the timing belt cover. The timing mark at the
flywheel is lining up then also. It seems to be all hooked up. Any ideas?
Thanks,
John
