I have a question, and I would really love for someone to help me. I have a 1997 Toyota Camry. 4 cylinder. The timing belt got hung up and shredded. When I went to replace the belt, I noticed that I couldn't turn the Cam sproket gear by hand. I had to put a wrrench on it just to turn, and when it did finally turn, it made a 1/4 turn, then seem to have freed up. Then got hung up again. Is this the result of a bent valve? And also, once everything is back in place, what is the correct way to set the timing?
