I just had a Brand New ACT 2100 Clutch Put in along with a findaza flywheel- I was out last night and i gave it a couple runs probably before I should of.... Anyway I went all out on it a few times a it started to whine at idle through Gears ect..... then finally it just died. I took off the timing belt cover and the timing belt is still there and its tight. What else could it be? Hope its not the motor! It Cranks but it won't kick over. Could I have blown the coil Pack or the Crank Position Sensor Maybe? :confused: The Crank Spins, Timing belt is there I Guess im going to take the Valve Cover off a see if the cams are screwed. Also i was racing a Monte with no cat so i Couldn't hear anything pop......... All feedback is greatly appreciated!!!!!
 
May want to start with the basics:

1.) Cold compression check / condition of plugs
2.) Pull intake and check for damage to turbo
3.) Drain oil and look for debris or silver indicating internal engine damage
4.) Pull valve cover and check for dislocated cam followers and/or bent valves
