My timing belt blew on me on the freeway, I've replaced it and rechecked the timing marks four times now and it won't start. When I try to start it, it cranks and its trying to start, but it wont turn over. I'm trying to KISS at this point, and I was wondering if there's a fuel shutoff or anything like that before I start tearing the rest of the engine apart. Is there anything I should be looking at? If it isnt something simple, where should I start? TY in advance to all.

Yes there are a few things you should be looking at... A new set of valves, possibly new pistons, a head gasket (you'll need to pull the head), possibly a new head or machine yours if its warped, and a couple grand for labor if you cant do the job yourself... Sorry dude. And if you didnt change the water pump and timing belt tensioner when you replaced the belt, it'd be a good idea to pick them up so you dont go through this again in a few thousand miles. Best of luck.
