Actually, I need a new engine...

Timing belt wedged between pulleys so when I tried to start the car the one time, it had too much pressure on the valve shaft (? i dunno exact part name) and as a result bent the valves. So there is no pressure.

It'd be way more money to replace those parts. So I'm looking at around 600-700 parts and labor for a new engine.
