That is not the crank mark at all , the crank should be a little more than 45 degrees to the right , if you have the cover still on the best way to check is with the crank pulley on the cover . The crank pulley has a small white mark that lines up with the timing cover marks . What you have circled is the guide for the crank pulley . With the cover off there is a small notch that lines up to a notch by the timing tensioner . Its at about the 10 clock position looking at the crank gear .

so installed new lifters and rocker arms, installed new balance belt and timing belt.... AND.... No dice... car still does not start... sounds exactly like what it did before i did all this work....
Should i take the head off and check the valves? i tried a compression test.... 0 across all 4.....

I had a Crank Angel sensor go on me on a highway, the car lost power and engine shut off after a few seconds, then wont start.
I found to a few spots on the surface of my timing chews off by the sensor, since the sensor gives the signal to the ECU to inject fuel and ignite spark, it sound like your video.
Check the crank angel sensor first, before spending money taking part the motor.
You can check it by taking off the bottom part of cam belt cover.
Hope this is the cause, as it will be cheaper fix.

Thanks for the reply unihappytime, i actually changed that as well when i did the timing belt.... I cant imagine it breaking agian... illl check on that tomorrow.
I know the crank angle sensor prevents the car from starting, but should i be able to get actual compression numbers even if the crank angle sensor is bad?

If you checked compression and have 0 across all four cylinders, you're gonna have to pull the head off no matter what to find out the extent of the damage. Even if the crank angle sensor is bad, that wont make a difference if you have ZERO compression. That sucks man. Let us know what you or the machine shop finds.

Thanks for the input legacydestroyer... I'm already in the process of removing the head... Its such a PITA...
Anyone in the NY/Long Island area know a reasonable machine shop I can go to?

OK, sounds like your case is more serious. Sorry to hear that mate.
My car cranked, via the starter motor, so should build up pressure if the internals are OK. With the crank angle sensor being faulty, it's just like when you were doing a compression test.
Hope what you find is minimal or you will have a very persuasive situation for a built motor.

So i got the head off, all my intake valves are bent pretty bad... looks like i need to get this to a machine shop... i was hoping i could get new valves and re-seat them myself my hand....
There seems to be damage to my piston.... should i worry?
