Yeah so in changing the valve cover gasket and switching to a freshly powder coated valve cover I have some how created a problem. I did the gasket on this car years ago when I first got it and have had no problems (swap has been prime for 5+ years now).

Background:
S13 Blacktop SR20DET swapped into an 89 Silvia (formerly CA18DET)
- Ran perfect before attempting valve cover/gasket replacement

While I was under there I used some degreaser to clean up some crud from a minor oil leak, and I cleaned the MAF. Other than disconnecting the battery I really can't recall doing ANYTHING else.

I put everything back together and it cranks but no start. Turns out I can longer hear the fuel pump priming. What could I have screwed up doing such a simple job?

Thanks
