ASSUMING he just didn't snap the belt again, I'd say the dist. gear just broke or is jammed.

Please forward $5 to my PayPal account for this service thanks

No they are not. I've never seen a car that had a dist/cam as one non-disconnectable unit.

Oops...

I am sorry to hear that but it sound like you going to need a new engine for sure my friend. I am willing to bet that your engine is cranking over very fast and it sound like it has no compression what so ever...
