Disco 3 tdv6. Starting problem

Hi. Guys. Got an issue from start.
I have have changed off side cylinder head gasket and reassembled. The engine is cranking but not firing. Could the camshaft be any problem with this or is there liable to be another issue involved with this problem. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you. Embarassed

Make sure fuel is coming out the tyre value at the back of engine
If not turn ignition on for 30 secs then off
Repeat

As long as you put the timing pins in the top cam wheels, should be ok.
Worth checking it’s still timed.

Did you remove the chain in the head ?
That’s important it’s aligned.
There are square marks in the cam which should align with the dark red chain links

Red links there to help. Don’t have to be used.

Yes I put pins in the camshaft and realigned the chain to the grooves on each shaft.

Hopefully mike will know.

It was just a head gasket failure was it for you to start this work ?

Yes the head gasket failed as there was water and oil running out of the car from underneath. I managed to trace into the offside cylinder head. I think I might have to take the camshaft of again. Thank you.
