My recommendation is to pull the plugs, put a teaspoon of oil into each cylinder, put a 27mm socket on the crank bolt and turn it over slowly clockwise by hand to visually inspect the timing belt through the air tube vents (holes on top of the cam gear covers) before even attempting to crank the engine with the starter
If you see even 1 little crack, DO NOT CRANK THE ENGINE OVER WITH THE STARTER. If you do, that 15 seconds of glory could cost you thousands of dollars in bent valves and top end rebuilding costs.
Better safe than sorry.
Good luck
