[Vwdiesel] finished, no start

Ok, so finally after two months of teaching myself how to rebuild this
rabbit, I have everything back together.

Cranked and cranked until the battery died.  I guess now comes the hard
part.  Getting it to start (and troubleshooting the problem).

I had the head rebuild, and replaced the head gasket and all coolant
hoses.  Thats about it.

A couple of things I noticed were fuel leaking from the pump adjustment
screw (where you hook up a dial indicator) and it seems there is fual
leaking from a couple of the injectors.  I reused the entire injector.
I've heard that you need to at least replace the heat shield, and I
didn't do this.

The liquid coming from around the injectors looked a bit black.  There
isn't a chance that the combustion chambers are full of oil?  That would
suck.

Anything else I should look into?  I'm thinking I'll re-time the pump.
