Alright, I pulled a dumb one here, and I'm going to hate myself forever if it turns out I really screwed this thing up.
Car lost brakes totally while driving the other day, the master seals gave out. Pulled over and shut car off. Father comes by with his car trailer and we roll it to a shop to have the master rebuilt.
When rolling the car onto and off of the trailer, I have no brakes, so to stop I had the gearbox in second and let off the clutch to halt the car.
This includes rolling the car back off of the trailer at the shop. I used second instead of reverse. It may have rolled MAX 40 feet. I'm sure the engine did at least one full rotation in reverse, maybe 3 or 4.
I haven't cranked the car since I realized I did this because I'm frightened I've bent a valve or something. No scary noises when it was rolling.
This happened Monday morning and I've got conflicting answers from everyone I've asked, even Google gives 50/50 on breaking something, and the wiki says "Do not rotate in reverse" in the timing belt guide.
I suppose what I'm asking is whether or not I should be okay to crank the engine and whether or not I've damaged my valvetrain.
