Well as I mentioned in another post. On Saturday night as I was driving, my car suddenly lost all power. I turned off the engine and tried to re-start it but it wouldn't turn.We guessed it was a broken Timing Belt. Well we took the car apart to find out that the belt was not broken. But had stripped and lost 16 of the teeths. We did a TB job, removed the valve covers to look for more dmg. Oddly enough, nothing was wrong with the valves (whew, saved me an assload of money there). Right now putting the car back together should be finished in about 30 minutes.

 

Good luck hope all turns out well

 

If it failed while driving and then you cranked it again after that, chances are you did bust something.

This is just as bad as it breaking.

If all you pulled was the valve cover, there's no way you can tell what shape the valves are in. All you can see are the lifters/springs. The valves sit much lower. You'd have to pull the whole head to see if the valves/pistons are damaged. Also sure hope you replaced the water pump while you were at it, since that could have caused it.

 

^ and/or tensioner.

but hopefully all is well!!

 

Sigh... Engine does not start gonna pull the head. There are some bent valves. So gonna need at least another day b4 car is up and running. other than that everything else is changed.

 

bummer dude, that sucks a big one

 

haha not really.. Good news is I am drunk.. hahahaahahahahahhaha

 

don't go banging without protection, much like your pistons+valves just did.

 

hahahaha.. 2morrrow gonna have the head rebuilt, change out the valves etc..

 

you got parts pretty quick...
