Timing Belt changed on 2000 camry 5sfe
Crank can't manually turn after timing belt changed on my 2000 camry 5sfe. Does anybody has an idea? Pls help!

Welcome to the forums! If you have the belt installed, you are exerting pressure on not only the crank, but camshaft and other internal parts. Can you crank it via starter? Why do you need to crank it manually? Try removing spark plugs to relieve piston pressure.

Is this a manual trans car? If so, double check that it's in neutral.
Also make sure that you've removed any blocks of wood, etc, that you may have used to hold the crank stationary so that you could tighten the crankshaft bolt.
Otherwise, it could be that the belt has skipped half a tooth and, as such, is riding over the top of the cam pulley notches rather than in them.
