Default EK did start but doesnt start anymore....

Guys...

I have a 96 Civic Cx with a GSR swap. I found something leaking from the head so i decided to replace the head gasket myself. I started taking the intake manifold, header, distributor, vtec solenoid, and the hoses. Then put everything back together but when i did I lined up the cam gears both up but i didnt line up the crank to TDC. I started the car, it kept on trying to start. Once in the while, it would "bum." It tried to start and knock three time then i tried pressing the gas to help it........THEN "Boom"......shiet....NOW everytime i start up the car... sounds like a METAL CUTTING BLADE.. PLEASE ANYBODY.... HELP ME...

Hummm... I have a feeling you fucked something up. Maybe pressed the valves into the pistons you may want to check it out.

Not synchronizing the valves with the crank/pistons is a huge no no. Pull the head. You have no choice now.
