Hi. I was helping a friend by replacing her timing belt today. It is a 2003. I did my own last year following the instructions on here with no problems. Mine was an automatic and this one a standard...that's the only difference. The timing mark was hard to find but I think I had it right. I used the crank lock, the cam lock, and the fuel pump pin. Put it all back together, pulled the locks and turned it by hand with my breaker bar tool. It seemed fine. I tried to start but sounds like there is no compression. I then realized I had not tightened up the fuel pump bolts. So rechecked everything, reset everything....but now I can't move it by hand past half a turn of the camshaft...it seems to be hitting something? Valve maybe? I hope not. This is the flywheel mark that I was using..frick how do I add a picture...
What do I do to try to fix/diagnose? I took everything off and reset it alll again with same problem. Maybe the belt if hanging up? I could take the lower timing belt cover off again....
Thanks
