It sounds like the timing is not set correctly. Are you counting teeth on the belt and not using the "marks" on the cover? The marks really dont line it up correctly, they are mainly there for reference.

Whatever you do don't force it to rotate!

A valve is contacting a piston, do not rotate it further. You need to set cylinder 1 to TDC, then use the marks on the gears themselves and line them up with the marks on the belt.
