Replaced the timing belt and water pump. I noticed two yellow-painted "allignment marks" on the lower crank pulley. One is one the factory indention at 11 oclock, the other is at 2 oclock when the factory mark is alligned. Put everything back on as good as new opting for the factory engraved allignment mark. Turned the key and it does not start. The pulleys turn but there is no "cranking" like a normal car that is trying to start. It is a very smooth metallic "woo-woo-woo-woo". Also, stepping on the gas while it is making this sound only makes smoke come from the engine that smells like gasoline. I never had a problem starting the car before so the spark-plugs should still be good. Gas is getting to the pistons because when I step on the gas, burnt gasoline smoke wafts from the engine. Could alligning the lower crank pulley to the "second-nonfactory-painted-yellow-allignment-mark" be from another mechanic and the key to making it start? Thanks
