My buddy actually did this a few years ago on his b16. It didn't hurt anything.



Check the timing.

If its running good, nothing noticeable id say you got off easy, and be very happy.
Just like the previous post id check the timing to be 100% sure you didnt jump a tooth.
Good practice checking your timing anyway

to be honest the car idle better, it used to be in the 1000,1200 now it idles 800,900 tops...

could it be possible , my motor benefited from this ? not saying it was done on purpose but its really strange...

Double check your timing, the towel probably threw it off some teeth. Just to be sure.... That's odd.

Maybe the timing was off to begin with and this made it better?

^ yea only thing i could think of is u jumped "back into" timing....maybe ur belt tensioner was a lil jacked n it setter straight ?

kyden

X3.... Be very happy you didn't mess anything up. Be glad it wasn't you're finger that got caught.
