changed cambelt and lifters now car won't start

["Iain Atkinson" <iain.atkinson@virgin.net>]

Hi all

Been on this one all damn day today, I have replaced the cambelt, water pump
(thanks Huw) and lifters today on the Coupe Q '85, but now I can't get the
darn thing started.

1 the engine turns over fine by hand no resistance (ie valves hitting
pistons.

2. the cam moves and the rotor arm moves

3 the tdc marks line up on the cam cover/gasket and the crank pulley/bottom
cam cover

4 I have fuel ( I can smell it when I pulled the sparks)

when I crank over with the starter with plugs and leads attached, it turns
over for a second and then stops with starter sounding like it is stuck.

I did unfortunately move the rotor arm during the course of events today but
put it back to where I thought it should be ie no 1 plug lead.

Some help please would be greatly appreciated.

TIA

Iain
