Trouble starting fresh engine rebuild

[turbodave231]

I beat my head against the wall trying to start this engine. It is a stock build with a mild cam. I finished it up many months ago.

Had spark
Had fuel pressure
Had injector pulse
Rechecked cam sensor timing. Good

Ran a compression check and found compression very low on all cylinders. WTF?????

THEN I remembered that it SAT with just the upper plenum bolted on the manifold. I didn't want any debris in my new build.

I grabbed my camera scope and looked down the throttle body.......And guess what I found.

Though you all might enjoy the story.

This is funny. I've done dumb stuff like this before.

No trees were harmed in the sending of this message, however, a significant number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.

Funny glad to see it was something small that was just overlooked and nothing major good stuff looks like something I'd do
