    What you are saying doesn't make any sense.

    1st: a 91 Si head is a 1.6L head
    Second: What intake manifold are you using, and ECU?
    Third: It is even turning over?

    timing belt = valve timing

    distributor = ignition timing,

    regardless of whether or not it gets spark when it's supposed to the motor should still be able to turn over without a problem as long as the valve timing is correct aka the timing belt's on correctly.

    you may have flooded the motor aka hydrostatically locked it meaning the cylinder is full of fluid (coolant or gas or whatever) therefore the piston cannot travel upwards.

    i really doubt that's your problem though, need more information

    the engine rotates, but will not start.the car actually started when we turned the distributor towards the firewall.what i wanted to know was if the ignition timing could be screwed up to the point that the car won't start.
