Hi 96integ,

If the crank sprocket for the timing belt was damaged or dislodged, the timing belt would be out of time.

Check the timing belt symchronisation.

Once the key is dislodged due to the crank pulley coming off, the valves can be damaged. Get a compression test done.

As I mentioned earlier, check the timing belt synchronisation.
