    New pump housing required, and it bent the shaft, too.

    Not pretty even at cranking speed.

    My guy got lucky then...

    stripped his brand new timing belt and bent a couple of pushrods.

    Well, very lucky then!!

    The one I saw, we thought it would be OK until a river of diesel poured out from the timing cover drain hole... fairly tore a big piece of the pump housing away surrounding the front shaft bearing and seal.

    There was much wailing and gnashing of teeth

    I suspect that the guy who was doing his (he's helped me out with one) was winding his over to make sure that after a couple of full rotations everything was ok, instead of using a spacer and the crank bolt I reckon he's just keyed it over on the starter but fortunately hasnt fully set the tensioner.

    Before using tool, a tag/note taped to ignition key as a reminder not to crank before removing tools.
    mistakes usually happen when people rush to complete a job and they're tired at the end of the day.
