Yup, I was going to comment on that last night, but was too tired.
The 6g73s are interference motors. If the pistons are out of time enough, they will hit the valves and vice versa.
I suggest taking the front three plugs out and checking the piston heads for ANY signs of collision.

we did we took 2 4 and 6 plugs out and it had good compression and it cranks like it wants to start we don't hear anything hittin and it only jumped 2 teeth so i think its fine b/c the compression wouldn't be good on 2 if the valves were all ****ed up b/c if it hit one it deff hit 2

okay well she runs fine engine mount was a bit of a pain in the a$$ but she is runnin fine thought there might have been a problem with it when we got it started and pulled an engine code for rear bank lean but sumone for got to hook a spark plug wire back up so we got it hooked up and she ran like a dream so all valves are okay and so what but im glad to have her back not drivin her for two weeks she feels funny but it wont take long for me to get use to her again thanks bad venge and silvercoupe97 u guys were alot of help and let ppl know about this post when they have a similar problem and the part that took the timing belt the water pump it was biding up and i have seen a great change in gas milage with these new plugs i put in champion iridum plugs the teacher thought the voltage was wrong wit the plugs b/c they use so much less voltage
