I was planning on trying to do this first, but I need to figure out the crankshaft cam pulley situation first. Is it possible to have no internal damage from this? Seems like the only way that could happen is if the cam stopped with the valves in the perfect spot - seems highly unlikely...
Anyway though I can move the crank - the pulley is slipping on the crankshaft and not turning. The other pulleys - AC, balance, PS all turn with the crank.
On another note, when this happens will the camshaft seize? Seems like it shouldn't.
I talked to a mechanic yesterday and he said if the timing belt has slack this can happen to the pulley. It will take up the slack quickly and "shock" the pulley if the motor is gunned, and then either the key will break or the key will destroy the pulley.
