Take the other plugs out, it's gotta make it easier. You try bumping the starter and see if the crank will move?

wow i finally got it!!i rotated the cam a little and the crank turned no problem.should be smooth sailing from here i hope.lol.thank you for all your help it was appreciated

I knew you'd get it. Now just go dot-to-dot on the sprockets like the Slacker's graphic, and you'll be all set.

I'm still a little concerned over why it wouldn't turn, wondering if you may have valve train problems. Turn the engine over (with no plugs) very carefully for a few revolutions once it's assembled, just to be sure.

i will try turning it over a few times with no plugs and see what happens and let you know.

wow how silly was i to think everything would go smooth during reassembly. for some reason the pulley will not go on no matter what i try.i lined it up properly but it just wont go.any suggestions??
