I mentioned this before, so i'll mention it again. Why are you using one s4 and one s5 rotor housing?

Given the egr placement and oil fill tube I assume this is a N/A build and using N/A housings, and being as such the s4 and s5 rotor housing have different plug timings.

I rebuilt it as it came. I was unaware of the rotor housing differences at the time of the rebuild. I have everything put back together and it took me a while to do so. I don't wanna redo every thing all over again. The car runs fine minus the 30 seconds of nonstop cranking in order to get it turned over. I can live wiTh it. Its not like I'm trying to build a track car or anything. Just my daily driver

Try jumper cables from a running vehicle and some ATF in the lower plug holes; to build compression.

ditto that, learned the hard way that the timing split difference is a real issue and had one engine break a side seal before anyone even paid attention or knew that there was a difference in the housings.

plus it's using an FB water pump housing on a 2nd gen block so there is no alternator bracket stud or any way of clamping down the driver side of the pump housing for that matter, eventual leak point.

Your waterpump housing is fine. Karack's eyes aren't used to seeing all those colors!
