No start problems after replacing timing chain on 2.2l

I helped a friend replace the timing chain/gears on his car after the chain broke. We replaced 4 valves that got bent in the mist of it breaking. We set the #1 cylinder to TDC and lined up the timing marks to the tensioner as shown, now it will not start. We have spark, fuel and compression. Is it possible that the camshaft sensor got damaged when the chain broke cause it not to fire at the right time. It will not even backfire so I know we can't (shouldn't) be out of time. Any ideas with this problem?

Re: No start problems after replacing timing chain on 2.2l

You really don't need a cam sensor to start the engine.....it will guess where number 1 is and fire the injectors.....car may run rough, but it will run.....

Compression greater than 100psi on all cylinders?

Spark on all 4 cylinders?

Fuel pressure ok?

Getting injector pulse on all 4 injectors?

Try spraying carb cleaner into the intake and see if it will start....
