Default aggravating unkown

ok i thought was timig but i now know thats an issue that i cannot get to until i figure out why it only cranks for couple seconds and stops ive triple checked all grounds and the motor isnt locked because previously i was turning with ratchet and socket to get it to t.d.c on the c.s so its not that heres couple pics from the head gasket change which started this and i can cross the solenoid and the motor contiously cranks as should so im at an impass need to get fixed so i can can get sold gotta eat lol i might try replacing the coulmn new key switch maybe

What engine, year and model are you working on? What exactly is the problem? Trying to turn the engine with the starter via key?

Yeah, apparently, it only cranks for a couple seconds with the key. So, I would suspect the starter relay, or, perhaps a security system interfering with it?
