Hey guys we were working on a friends talon. Anyways the car made a bad noise the last time it was started and we shut it down immediately. Anyways we pulled the engine out to change the trans and do a balance shaft delete. We went to try to get the motor to tdc. Anyways when cylinders 2 and 3 came up to the top the engine became jammed. We pulled the valve cover off and it looks like the exhaust valves on cylinder 2 are just starting to open when the engine jammed up. We took the timing belt off and the engine turns freely now. Anyways, I think the timing belt jumped a tooth or two. Whats our chances we bent a valve. Also are there anyways to check it before we take the head off. What do yall think?
