Check engine compression if okay-check if the timing belt is aligned properly meaning the camshaft/s and the crankshaft at top dead center-

watch the timing belt to make sure it spins when you crank the engine. it could have spun the cogs off the belt at the crankshaft. if it spins then take out the spark plugs and check each cylinder for puffs of air as its cranked. if none then compression is lost due to valvetrain/camshaft damage
