"Maybe they manually turned the engine against the valves in cylinder #1". This does not fit with the report that the car drove great for two days. If they damaged it in the shop, the effect would have been noticed immediately.

Is it possible to screw up the timing belt and damage only one piston? It seems more likely that all sets of valves would be damaged, doesn't it?
