turbowagon Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Key question is:Can you hand crank the car without excess force?Hopefully, so that you can hope for 0 valve damage. If so, align cams/crank and put in a timing belt.If not reassess, because that could require an entire motor.. . .Hopefully you are cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Boost Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 ..Don't 850 turbos or N/A's have Interference Engines? Meaning in the event of a broken belt, especially when accerlerating like my man said, out the toll booth, The pistons will Kiss the Valves? I agree with rebuilding. A replacement car will Far out weigh the cost of a rebuild IMO...That is doing it yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
