Igor,
So, did that ISV at least get reasonably clean?
>From what it sounds like, you friend is at least knowledgeable enough to be
able to put a ratchet on the crankshaft bolt and turn it some. I would
guess that he shouldn't have a problem starting unless the broken  part of
the wheel happens to be right against the starter gear when the starter is
turned on. And if that happens, he can just crank the engine a bit to clear
the damaged spot. Now of course it makes all the more sense to clean out
the rest of the fuel injection to assure an istantaneous start, except I
would recommend taking it to Precision Tune or something, given the
circumstances.
