ok sounds like your engine is out of timing badly, take off your valve cover and turn your crank until your cam gears are both pointing up, you will see the two arrows once you do that make sure your crank is pointing to the fourth dot on the crank is lined up with the top dead center mark if not you need to put them at tdc make sure you didn't bend a valve or messed anything up, if your car is cranking but not turning over it is down to timing let me know if it works

turning over = cranking. is the engine cranking but not firing, or its not cranking over period?
