DID I bend any valves?

[dbsharp]

I tuned the crank on my f22b one revolution clockwise and I had the timing belt off on the cam gears 1 tooth. if you are looking at the motor from the t-belt side, the cam gears would be off one tooth in the clockwise direction. I used a ratchet to turn it and it felt normal when I turned it. I have no idea how hard it is to bend a valve, so im somewhat worried. I dont want to drop in my motor if it has some bent vlaves, but I have no idea how to find out other than a compression test.

??? just put it back one tooth and put it together....You cant bend valves by manually turning the engine...I havent seen anyone do it before you would be the first if that was even possible.

i believe you can be off from 1 to 2 tooth before anything crappy happens to your engine but lets wait for another member to respond.

i did the same thing with my TypeR motor, i was so paranoid afterwards. but alas, it was fine. i would imagine its pretty hard to bend a valve by hand,

[dbsharp]

yea I fugured that I was most likely fine but I feel much better now that I know.
and now that Ive done one t-belt job I feel like It is a pice o cake.

Yah no way you would bend them from that. You would need to have pulled the timing belt off and then turned it (it would have felt ALOT harder to turn all the sudden when the piston hit the valves). There are cam gears that have adjustments that are closer to 5 or 6 teeth adjustment in both directions people use all the time. You CAN bend a valve by hand, but like I said the timing belt would have to be sersiouly off time or completely off the motor and you would have to put some effort into turning the crank. Most bent valves are from the timing belt braking while the motor is running or from a very very bad timing belt job.
