We liked the laughter also
I know the Ring pretty well so that's a big plus for trying to keep it out of the barrier

Oh fuck!!! Did you hear any noise when this happend? Or did the engine still run? If you have valve cutouts in the piston there is a good chance that you have no damage!

This is why I think having a cover is pointless. If something enters the pulleys, at least it has more of a chance of being shoved out in motion and not bouncing back in off the cam belt cover.
Good luck on getting it back in one piece

Sure mate, i could cry and moan all weekend but why, just make the best out it and we did with 16 lads
Can happen to any car i guess, chance of winning the lotery is bigger

No good news
My mate took the head off after some examination and this is the result.
All exhaust valves bend bigtime
By the looks of it also maybe a few inlets
Pistons damaged
And last but not least 2 cracks in the block to waterjackets
Best to move this thread to the resto section i'm afraid
