car wont start

So i changed the head gaskets and put together and tightened down the rocker arms and hit the key and it started so I went to tighten the rocker arms and then it shut off and wont start. I readjusted the valve lash and still wont start. Can someone help me?

Re: car wont start

Are you using the correct procedure to set the lash?
