Timing Belt Dramas... Car Wont Start :(

[Big Jim]

Your best bet is to take the car to a engine reconditioner and just say that you dont want it back till it runs

sounds like bent valves hope they havent made there way in to the pistons

good lesson for everyone to learn to bad it had to be you to show everyone

somethings should be left to the professionals

Picture tells 1,000 words

Piston/Valve vs Spark plug = No winner

[chef_stagea]

so ive confirmed my issue not a belt valve... it is infact a snapped valve. and what appears to be piston ring in the top if the chamber...

plan off attack is not get a few of the local stag boys together to help remove the head...

if the piston ring is damaged i will need to go in threw the sump ... theres a seriously good chance now that both the top of the piston, and side wall is seriously hacked!

not going to be a cheap exercise!... how ever all other spark plugs were in tacked, and didnt appear to have any stay shit flying around... but only time will tell 100% !!

do i need to pull the rocker covers off b4 the head? had a look and i cant really c many attack points for the head lol... hopefully once the intake mani and turbo is fully off it will expose more bolts!!

any of you adelaide boys that want to come round sunday to give me a hand along with a few others, would be fantastic!! ive msgd a few of ya already

pretty sure all the head bolts are under the rocker covers

its good tho, keeps them nice and slippy

bad news about the missing valve tho
