OK. So I got the car all back together and It wont start. I'm pretty sure that I have the timing belt put back on as I followed the haynes manual and all of the timing marks matched up. I rotated the crank like it said 6 full turns and they still matched up perfectly. I checked over everything and all of the vaccuume lines and electrical plugs are back in. I was super careful to lable everything and put it back where it came off of. I tripple checked the spark plug wires. Now I go to start the car and It turns over but nothing. I took the CAS off and made sure that it was inserted into the cam properly tried again and nothing. Now the battery is dead and im letting it charge again. Will the car not start if the CAS is off enough? Any suggestions on where to place it to begin the timing process? Thanks in advance!

Well After looking at the car closely It looks as if My tensioner pully is bad. I can move it way too freely by just pulling up on the belt and I just read that sometimes when they are going bad that they make noises that sound like HEAVY lifter tick or valvetrain noises. And when I pulled the old head it looked perfect so I'm assuming that its in good shape. Thanks for the help guys! I'll post if this fixes my problem.
