Im still a little bit confused as to WHY my car didnt START right after Head Change, your insight please? (It helped me to detail what happened by makign references to my Cat Binky... So if you see "Binky" its just me recalling what happened, and framing my detail, so you can have the best Information to tell me what may have happened. Thanks.)

OK, i thought i would ask for your Insight, ive never fully understood WHY my car dd not start back up, although i DID identify that the Battery was Weak (VERY Weak, i had to charge it all night with a Battery Charger now its power has come back, it was made and purchased Brand New in October last year, an Advance Auto "Silver'" by Johnson Control Systems, a.k.a. Interstate Batteries) and that Binky "Forgot to put Gas in the car," as it was under 14 tank.. but im still at a loss. A Brief Run-Down of what happened:
1) Head Gasket -BLOWN,- (This is a fact, ALL Symptoms.) Car driven -ONE TOO MANY TIMES,- Warm water added 15 minutes after Car was "Running Hot," I shut it off before IT did.. 2 Hours after adding Water AND 1/2 gallon GAS (It was low on Gas then too) and nothing but "Crankcrankcrankcrankcrank" Same with Jump.. = Milkshake Oil. First time in my almost 28 Years ive Driven a Car EXACTLY One too many times.. and the first time ive EVER seen Milkshake Oil. CAR NEVER HAD MILKSHAKE OIL BEFORE.
2) Car Towed Home. Milkshake oil Drained.. New Oil put in, tried to turn it over, also with jump, for 2 or 3 minutes.. New oil i just put in was Milkshake as well after this. Drained out Overnight again. (Now car has Water in it, not freezing night, .. no Oil.)
3) Mechanics come, Take head off Car. New Gaskets, Wires, Spark Plugs, Oil, Oil Filter.. Ready to go. HEAD HAD SMALL CRACK LIKE A CROTCH BETWEEN CYLINDERS 2 AND 3. New head Installed, New Gaskets, they said they put some RTV Black Silicone on the Gaskets too... All is well.. i go to turn Car...
4) "WHIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR" - One Pitch. I Panic. "Timing?" -- (This car does NOT Have a Timing Belt Nor Chain.. gear Drive this one is.. Sound is EXACTLY likk when my Forf Escort snapped its Timing Belt, 1991 1.9L. Wont Turn.) I say, "Did you guys -Time- The Engine?" They say "We dont have a Timing light, we just put it back together with your New Head and gaskets." I asked if Engine was not Timed right would it not Start, they said "Yeah its possible." I say OK, I pay them, as they just performed Work. (Not done at a Shop.. Done with Tool set in my Driveway, out of their Car.)
I ask all Questions about Timing.. Saddened and Confused. AND Worried.
5) I wait a few hours.. I decide to look at it again, as i cant come up with an Answer. I look at Engine.. the "PCV Elbow" had FALLEN OFF! (It had always been loose and it still is.) I put it back on.. Turn Key, hoping Battery Power came back a little, it was looooww... --It CRANKED!- I give it Gas.. It ALMOST Started! Battery died again. i ask for a Jump.. Battery wouldnt take the Jump, it was looow... I charge car up for two or three hours at 6 Amps.. CAR STARTS!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Im STILL at a Loss as to what happened, and im letting Oil drip out to get the "Water/Antifreeze" that was left over (They said it had pooled up int eh Cylinders) Out.. Also, they cleaned the Replacement head up with Carb & Choke Cleaner, and i took it on the Highway today, and i think some of the Residual Carb & Choke Cleaner is coming out (cleaned via Oil) as well.. so im "Cleaning" the Residual "[censored]" out with Frequent Oil Changes and stuff, as it MUST still be eneding to come out of the Block, the remainder of the Milkshake Oil and Water and all that.
So WHAT HAPPENED?? WHY did my car not START right away, im not sure Why?
P.S.: There is now 1/2 Tank Gas in, i will use SeaFoam AFTER the Filter, i MAY try it myself if its THAT easy when car is sitting and all is cold, i CAN ee the Filter... and the Battery is fully charged, i bought a used Altertnator as well. Trying to cleanse the Block of the Dolvents and Milkshake Oil and Water/Antifreeze that was left behind, feel like its still in there, some not as much, but im tryin gto get it out, thats what caused the Mustard...
Thanks for the Insight, sorry about the Length..
Thank You
