Default help! problems after knock sensor install

Well we got everything off changed both sensors harness and new intake gaskets. Got everthing back on and it cranks up for a minute but sounds like **** like its got a air leak and I touch the throttle and it dies. Well I found I was missing a intake manifold bolt so I put it in and and it won't crank now. What the hell!? Any possible advice.?

Intake gasket?

You said it won't crank now...like it's dead? Did the battery go dead?

Yeah, I'm curious. I'll be launching into this adventure soon and don't want to make the same mistake.

Yea it was a very big dumbass mistake. Needless to say I had to pull the head and its now at the machine shop getting a new valve and seat. Ha ha somehow or another one of the manifold bolts came out and fell right into the number 6 cylinder port. It didn't sound anything like a bolt either. Just a airleak. And those bolts don't come out of the manifold easy either. Just a crazy situation. Oh well

That does suck man...that's why you always see masking tape covering the intake ports in the pics around here when someone has the intake off
