  1. So my timing belt stripped out last week, I was at idle when it happened. The first time I tried to start it acted like it's start, then I heard a BOOM and nothing. Towed it back to my place, started tearing into it over the last week. Changed the timing belt, checked the compression on all 4 cylinders (150-180 on all of them), so i decided to try and start it up. The car started immediately, but there's now a tapping sound and a fair amount of smoke coming out of the tailpipe (not white, smells like fuel to me). I haven't had it running for more than 15 seconds or so, I'm petrified there's a bent valve and I'm gonna gouge the hell out of my head/piston if I leave it running. If I have a bent valve, how would I have compression in all cylinders? I'd love to do a leak-down but am sans compressor. What is the leaking and smoke caused by? Any help would be greatly appreciated, this is my sole car and I need it up and at 'em pronto if at all possible.
