Timing belt + water pump replaced, car will not start

Re: Timing belt + water pump replaced, car will not start
Okay, I drained my battery trying to get my car starter. I installed a new battery! There is fuel, spark, but the car is not turning over. Lets just say that the cam shaft or crank shaft shifted while installing my timing belt (possibly). I cannot think of any other reason for my car not to start. It started perfectly before the timing belt and water pump install and now it won't start. What would I have to do to get the cam shaft and crank shaft realigned to exactly where they should be? Keep in mind, if one of these shifted during installation or I did not have it at TDC, what can I check or what can I fix to solve this problem?

Issue resolved! I started another thread for the topic, because it was more warranted to start with my discovery of incorrect timing of cam and crank. You can read that thread here:
