Distributor. You gave it a voltage surge when you pulled off the wire.

Ok I replaced the distributor car still wouldn't start from trying to start it it ended up jumping time bad think I might have bent a valve on the intake side I did here a pop sound that came from my intake manifold so could I just replace all the valves andbe good or would I still have to send it to the machine shop to get checked even tho the motor wasn't running and the timing belt won't stay tight now could you please help thank you for your time.
