Cylinder head problem

[spanish singer]

This is a continuation from my "New Owner" thread. The start of the story can be read there.

I have now refitted the timing belt correctly to the engine. Have checked the valve clearances and all are good. I now need to find a compession tester so that I can check the compression on each cylinder. Once I have done that I will know if any damage has been done to the valves.

Have just been able to do a compression test and all is well, I got exactly the same pressure on all four cylinders
The stater motor would only turn the engine over slowly so the pressure Reading was not very high but at least I know that there arent any bent valves
Have pulled the starter motor off and will get it rebuilt.
Seems like Ive been lucky after all and simply turning it over on the key hasnt damaged anything.
