08 tl starting problems

Hello I've recently baught a 2008 TL not running,got the car a couple of weeks ago with the timing cover off,the timing had jumped what looked to be about 3 or 4 teeth,so I baught a new belt and reset the timing,turns over with good compression, its getting fueal in the cylinders and spark when I ground any of the plugs out,only code was for the temperature sensor, any thought or idea would be much appreciated

You need to either replace the cylinder heads or have your heads reconditioned/rebuilt.

Oddly,the heads look like they've been recently replaced, they look new and they had definitely had the intake manifold off,old intake gaskets were in the car. So you think it may have bent some valves since the timing was off?

If the engine was rotated even as much as 60° of a single turn since the timing belt jumped teeth, you have bent valves.
