Hi,
Is it possible for you to record it cranking and upload it for me to hear? Based on what you are describing, it sounds like you had it together correctly. However, it also sounds like the screwdriver caused the belt to jump time. As a result, the ignition is firing at the wrong time and backfiring through the intake.
We really need to be careful with the timing if that is the issue because this is what is called an interference engine. What that means is this. If the timing is off, the tops of the pistons can come in contact with an open valve. If that happens, it causes major internal damage.
If this is the case and since you have been cranking it, recording it for me shouldn't cause any more damage when recording it. I should be able to tell if it is a timing issue.
Let me know.
Joe
