We had removed the head and had it resurfaced, upon reassembling. The engine will not fire unless the spark plug in cylinder 1 is removed. We have confirmed the plug wire is working and that plug is making spark. The engine will run and idle with that spark plug removed. Otherwise the engine will not fire.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Fact of the week
Brothers Adolf ("Adi") and Rudolf ("Rudi") Dassler split their shoe company after WWII due to a bitter feud, and established the rival companies of Adidas and Puma. Their personal animosity and business rivalry divided their German hometown Herzogenaurach. The town became known as "the town of bent necks" due to the intense loyalty to each brand.
