wont start after timing belt replacement

a couple of weeks ago i replaced my timing belt and the first time i put it on, i started the car *when the timing was off a little, like 2 degrees* and it ran like crap. so i reset the timing belt. now the timing is perfect as far as i know. now the car wont even start. could i have messed something up with the timing just being off a little? what could be wrong here?? any suggestions?

Re: wont start after timing belt replacement

Do a compression test. I'm not sure if 2 degrees is enough but you may have bent valves...

Re: wont start after timing belt replacement

I'm betting some valves went bendy-bendy. Have fun with that.

Re: wont start after timing belt replacement

I'm still banking on my first assumption that the valves went bendy-bendy.

Ok this may seem like a stupid question, but you're lining up all the marks right, not just the cam gears?
