Default engine wont start

i have a question here i have a hpi rs4 3 ss with the 12r ss engine..i was running the other night runned about 4 tanks or so out and runned out of fuel again..so i pulled it in to refuel and did so but after refueling the car would not start back..so i just thought it may be the plug so i drained the fuel out of the tank and quit for the night...and went back out today to run with some friends the car still would not crank..i changed to a new plug still no luck..when i pulled the glow starter off i noticed the head on the engine was loose..so i retightened the head and still no luck...the car is tuned properly..could it be a head gasket blowed from where the head was loose????if so how can i tell or does anybody have any ideas what it may be as we are gonna to go running again tonight...please help asap

it might be leaking somewhere, check your carb and gaskets.
