You must figure out your error and correct it prior to doing anything else.
Whatever you do, DO NOT use the starter until you are positive that the engine rotates through 720 degrees BY HAND.

Brian, what is the best approach to the problem. You are right, the pistons hitting the valves. Taken the cams off again and the engine is free wheeling again, set it back on TDC. What now? Do my paint marks still play some roll of importance? Obviously, it has to be timed with the cams, but can't install cams without running into the same problem again, colliding with the pistons? As mentioned, any morsel of advise is appreciated
