Well today I looked at the timing belt and thank god it is still in tack. When i crank it, turning the key, the cams dont move at all. I opened the valve cover to see if any rockers or lifters are still in tack and they are. This head is pretty new about 20k miles on it from a previous owner. Block is at 140,000+. Question, why doesnt my cams move when i try turning on the car? The timing belt didnt snap, and my rockers are still in tack. Any advice?? Is my engine gone?? Did my balance shaft belt snap or something?

I'll try putting the car in gear and pushing it to see if the cams move. will let you guys know soon if it does move while doing that.

ADDED-

Checked coolant, its still near full.
Checked oil, the oil is low but still has minimum.

I was using thicker oil, should have changed it but im not sure this would be the reason.

Mods-
Rewired fuel pump.
Manual Boost controller.
K&N Filter.
Free mods.
