uhhh....
Tdc #1.
Line up your cams.
Belt on.
Check compression.

If you broke it while running, id expect a fair bit of damage.
If it has a dizzy, and no spark, id expect you sheared the drive pinion key.

Sounds like no compression, lady said it always sounded that way.
Broke while d, yes. I'll check drive pinion key-compression. Thanx

If theres spark then its unlikely to be dizzy issue.

Compression check low. Cyl 2 & 3 below 100. Took head off. Head gasket looks OK. No damage to valves or pistons. What else could cause low compression?

leakdown test.
'looks ok' doesnt always mean ok.
What did the bores on 2&3 look like? Shat a ring?
