Hi Ken,

I have finally put in the new engine block but it just whines and cranks but won't start up. Any suggestions please?Thanks, Dharmesh

This sounds like the crankshaft angle sensor or the fuel pump has gone out, when you turn the key to the on position without cranking the engine over can you hear the fuel pump run in the tank for 5 seconds?
