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.

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.
