Ensure that no electrical connectors were knocked off during installation of gasket. Also check vacuum hoses as well. Who performed repairs? Repair shop or individual? If not a repair shop, did individual torque bolts properly? If not, air could leak into intake. If too much air is entering, engine will not start.
