I have replaced the timing belt,now it won't crank, could this be a bad valve?

if the old timing belt broke with the engine running then you may have a mess on your hands. newer engines have the valves close to the piston and if the piston got into the valves then theyre probably bent and it will be a costly repair. try turning the engine over by hand in the oposite direction that it turns while running, if it turns that direction but not the other then you most likely have a valve bent and wont let a piston go all the way to the top...but then again i dont know much about kia motors, just a thought

If timed incorrectly valves will be open at TDC, result: no compression. (this could also bend valves). If belt broke while running you probably have some bent valves.
