Car Wont Start!!! Please Help

[dsmfreak21]

So my car has been sitting in my garage for about seven months while ive been modding it. Mods include: 60 trim turbo, 3 inch intake, full apex exhaust, adfx sidemount, walbro 255, afcII, 650 injectors...the problem is that i go to start it and it cranks but it doesnt turn over...I check the pump to make sure im getting fuel which I am because when I pulled my spark plugs to check them out for spark they were drenched in fuel...so i dried them off and tried again....HUGE BACKFIRE! Im trying to diagnos this problem.....i think its my timing because i cranked the crank pulley by hand to line up the timing marks and then looked at my cam gears for alignment and they are nowhere near eachother....what i dont understand is that the car was running fine before i started gutting it out for all these mods...everything is hooked up correctly...ive had a couple of my buddies come take a look and listen but we cant figure out what it could be....Ive read about 25 different threads with people reporting the same problem and they say its either their timing or ecu....im just trying to get some feedback to point me in the right direction....ANY INFO WOULD BE USEFUL.....

The crank turns 2x for each revolution of the cam so if the cam timing marks are not aligned with the CS pulley pointing at TDC within two full revolutions then you have a problem.

Hopefully you did not turn the crank over counter-clockwise as it would most definitely slip teeth and woudl risk bending valves.

Definitely recheck the T-Belt alignment and try a cold compression test to see if anything major is wrong.

And please don't "...." each sentence. Gave me a headache reading your post

I tried turning the crank over another revolution and it will only let me go so far, It feels like it doesnt want to move anymore. I didnt even get another whole revolution in before it wouldnt let me go any farther

If it wont let you turn the engine over by hand, then you have serious issues. Most likely timing is way off or something.

Or you left the car in gear

looks to me like the timing is off about three or four teeth, so right now i think thats the problem, im gonna see if i can give it a compression test tonight to see if i bent any valves or what not

Dont compression test it until you get the timing correct.

here is a pic of the cam gears, keep in mind this is with the crank lined up with the timing marks

Did the engine ever turn over at all with the intake cam like that? If not, there is a chance that you didnt bend any valves. Fix the timing and test compression.

nope, it never started period...whats the easiest way to fix the timing?
