Cam Sprocket Instal problem need Help

Hi all,
Well to make a long story short, I read Pat Donnells 'Cam Sprocket install 103 (see thread), and went very smooth. But when I tried to rotate the rear tire,( with plugs out, in 5th gear), I got about an 1/8 of a revolution of the chain when it stopped and would not go forward at all. I tried to reverse the tire rotation and the points align up but it will not go foward. I then looked for a misaligned cam chain tensioner but they looked ok and moved properly when the chain was pushed up and down. I sometimes heard a noise from the right side but I thought it might be valves closing, but then againg the right side valve cover was hard to remove. I don't think I dropped anything in the engine but I'm confused.
Please help
Jeff
