Intake Manifold...then dead

[chuckabrick]

So just finished a long couple days of replacing the intake manifold gasket. I get everything back together with radiator flush in it to clean it out. I start it to warm it up/ check for leaks and here is what happens.

Starts and runs fine.
White smoke comes out of tail pipe, not a lot but a notable amount.
White smoke starts to decrease significantly
then suddenly it's as if someone turned the engine off.
now it wont start.
The starter is turning but no turn over.

any ideas on what to check first?

Spark and fuel. Once you figure out which one is missing, it will be a lot easier to diagnose.

you didn't do the torque technique right?
you didn't get the matting surface clean enough?
you have a cracked head?
you might have buggered the gasket during installation.
