Just to get things straight, you changed out the timing belt or drive belts or both?

Clicking sounds like a weak battery to me.

If it cranked a couple times and then clicked, that sounds like a dead battery. Could also be a loose battery cable or starter cable. Try jump starting the car either with jumper cables and another vehicle, or an actual battery charger with a 150amp jump start feature. Do the simple things first, before taking the car to a shop.

do you guys think if the timing is completely off, the valves will be bent from trying to start the car?
