[killab443]

what happens if you turn the crank a bunch of times counterclockwise, can it mess up the lifters?

No, it can jump timing. You're feeding all the "slack" in the cam belt the wrong way.

is that the only thing that can happen?

umm well that's a REALLY bad thing to have happen, because the next time you start the engine could be the last.....valves meeting pistons :thumbdown

Did you do this? If so redo the timing belt before you start it again, or at least check the timing is lined up and shit.
