not sure yet, but i'll do that tonight asap.
after trying to recall what happened last night. i'm 10000% sure that the car 'stalled' with the clutch depressed and it wasn't geared into first at all through the duration of the turn.

jarek, the car seems to idle fine because i encountered some stoplights when driving back home. i had my windows up though. the clanking noise gets really noticeable when revs go above ~3500rpm. below that you can barely hear it. this is when i'm in the car with the windows up

If it's bent valves then the car should idle rough and maybe even stall.
