If a new timing belt was installed but the valve timing does not correspond with the pistons ie: the valves opening as the pistons reaching top dead centre ,,then it will be jamming.. bending valves and possibly damaging pistons.. when fitting a new timing belt or chain you have to be very careful of cam/valve position in respect of the pistons
