Hi,
When you reset the timing, was it correct? I have a concern. If the timing was off and you tried to start it, chances are the drag you were hearing was contact between the pistons and valves. This engine is an interference engine and this would cause internal damage.
Do this: If you are certain that the timing is correct, record the engine cranking and upload it for me to hear. I can usually tell if there is an issue.
If you are not sure, take a look at the attached pic. It shows the alignment marks. Let me know if that is what you saw.
Take care,
Joe
