Default '02 Ram 4.7L: No start, no codes

Hi all,
Recently I changed out 2 timing chain guides and unstuck a chain tensioner that was causing a clacking noise. Now it's all back together and it wont start. It cranks, there is spark, not sure of the fuel pressure as I can't find a place to connect a gauge. The fuel pump works when the key is turned. I've checked the CMP and CKP sensors for resistance. There are no codes to guide me in the right direction. Please help...Thanks

Did you remove the chain? Sounds like it's out of time.

Did you try the key dance for codes or a code reader? I realize you said there were none, just wondering what method you used. Did you do the cluster test?

Did you find the schraeder valve on the fuel rail so you can check fuel pressure? Try starting fluid or your choice into the throttle body to see if it'll start. Some people would rather spray into the brake booster vacuum hose.
