Make sure the engine is at TDC. When the engine is at TDC the cam lobes should face down. Always rotate the fly wheel counter clockwise.

You're going to have to go into the engine to find out what's really going on. There is probably more than that going on. Check the chain tensioner, the sliders, the upper cam sprocket, the lower cam sprocket, etc., etc.

There's gonna be some damage somewhere. Better get ready for a minimum bill of $100.00. Say $300 to be safe. If there's any serious damage, the sky's the limit.

I cannot say this next bit loudly enough.
Get a clymer manual. 25$ now will save you thousands in the future.
