Re: Car will not start
Usually, a bad head gasket affects one or two cylinders only, and almost all of the time the engine will run just not well. You said that you have spark to the plugs but is it at the correct time ?

Re: bedix???
Yep, pull the starter forward and a few drops of a lightweight oil on the bendix spiral area to get it moving freely and you should be good to go.
Just dont over do it with the oil :)
