You can rotate the crankshaft so all pistons are all just halfway the cylinder, the you can rotate the camshaft. You have to remove the spark plugs and get a wooden stick and stick it in the spark plug hole, rotate the crank and watch the stick go down halfway the stroke.

If you tried to start the car with a stripped timing belt, it's 100% sure some valves are bent.
