Timing belt update.....It won't start

I got the harmonic balancer off by turning it over with car with a breaker bar on it like i was told. Thanks

. I lined up the markings and tightened everything back up. I turned it over and nothing. Did I do something wrong?

Whats the % that the belt breaking took out my crank sensor? Could it happen? Do I turn the cam sprocket 2 times for every one turn on the bottom sprocket?

2 questions.........

1. Why start a new thread? You already had one about changing the belt. Will you start a new one once it gets running? (I should know better than to ask....that is a YES)

2. What the heck does the statement in the quote mean?

If you get the crank at TDC, align the mark on the cam on the center mark on the inner timing cover it should fire right up. If you do not have an inner timing cover, then draw a straight line betwen the cam sprocket bolt and the aux sprocket bolt

I made a new thread cause once people are done with the thread, they are done. So I make a new one and everyone will read it.

Now, with the bottom 2 lined up the top is slightly counter clockwise of the mark. I have no spark so I assume it's the crank sensor. And yes, I do have gas. I can get the sensor for $129 here. Can anyone find it cheaper?
