put it back to where it lines up. its doin that bc if a car is out of time it wont start and by doin this u can bend some valves and these engines are easy. y were u messing with it anyways? timing belt replacement?

Depending on how much you turned it you could be up for a new head replacement, possible engine re-build. If your lucky you can turn it back & see if it will run. What were you trying to do?
