Hey, I lost 10 psi in one of my cylinders after I screwed up a timing belt change.... It was off a lot of teeth ( dont want to think about it) BUT I only tried to start it up once and it didnt turn over. What could be wrong, I had 160 across the board, now I have 160,150,160,160. I got it back in time though, is it still safe to drive??
 
If you run a DSM with the teeth off more than two, you tend to bend at least one valve.

I'd drive a 160/150psi car. No biggie. If it's 120, then you got problems. Figure you have a slightly-bent valve, though.
