I'm curious to see what you guys think...an accessory belt broke and tangled with the timing belt upon startup, causing the timing belt to jump a tooth. After cranking the car a couple of times I diagnosed what had happened and stopped.
Timing is off enough to cause interference, as I discovered by taking out all the spark plugs and trying to turn the engine over by hand (pistons are bumping up against valves), but is idling and turning the engine over via the starter enough to bend them? If so, how bent up are they?
Thanks!
