Message 1 why would the starter not turn the motor over.... coincidence that the starter failed?

2 perhaps a stroke of luck would have it that your timing jumped off by a few teeth on the condition that the idler pulley failed just enough to lose tension to skip a tooth or 3? I would imagine if you can successfully push the car in gear then there is a chance the valves have not yet made contact with the pistons. Either way I would start pricing good used cylinder heads, or perhaps a complete rebuild is in order due to the high mileage.... it would be cheaper to get a JDM low mileage motor at that point.

*disclaimer*: all that I say may be true or I may be completely wrong and I accept that.... please, it is your duty as another person on the internet to in-politely tell me how wrong I am :)
