I just put a new water pump, cps, and timing belt on and I fired it up and it started just fine then I noticed a coolant leak from the tube that runs through the intake, so I tear it back apart again put the new o rings on and no coolant leak! but it wont start? I took the timing belt off thinking that it was where it needed to be[ the cam sprockets were but the crank was not] so I figured I would just turn the crank to where it lined up, the marks on the belt match the cam sprockets and crank now. Could I be 180 degrees out or something? or could the coolant from the water pump ruined my new CPS? It doens not ry to start at all just cranks. Any help would greatly appreciated.

check all your connections, and grounds.
As long as those marks are on, you're set.

all the connnections and grounds are good I have the front covers and pulleys and such off but it should still run, It has before. Im just trying to make sure she runs before I put the accesories and belts back on. So there is no 180 degrees out on these engine like say a small block chevy?

nope... no connection between the cams and crank with the timing belt off. Remember, you do turn the motor 360 to get to that mark. but it dosent matter really, as thats what the CPS and CID are for.
It still kinda confuses me sometimes too..
