oh and the chances are because you spun the engine over it will definitely have waked the valves so causing a costly repair

check the top "cams" are turning with the bottom end the belt might have stripped the teeth on the crank pulley so nothing will turn

if the bottom is turning and the top is still there will not be a spark so it cant fire up, I hope im wrong but it seems likely and the sound you get is it sounds like there is no compression
