The engine was overheated and warped the heads, the heads were sent off and machined. All 6 plugs have spark.

When cranking the engine with all 6 spark plugs in, the engine does not start. When removing the spark plug from cylinder #1 the engine will start.

Removing any of the other plugs while leaving #1 in, the engine will not fire.
