Replaced my cambelt and valve stem seals car started and then quit. It was making a click noise and does not want to start again. Reset the timing, but the same problem occurred. What is wrong?

Hey AUBREY,

I would start by putting a socket on the front balancer bolt to see if the engine turns over by hand before you go any further.

Please let us know happens so it will help others.

Best, Ken
