Default FRST engine rebuild

ok folks, as mention in GD, my cambelt snapped today, so, an unplanned rebuild is about to begin........

spent the afternoon stripping it down to see the damage

rocker cover off, boost pipes off




the start of a boot full of bits





head off, just one bent valve, but will replace them all i think, peace of mind and replace the tappets and the valve stem oil seals whilst i'm at it




number three is scorched/burnt and also had a slap on it from the bent valve


one of the three snapped bolts


the bolts left in the block


headgasket was ok though


tomorrow i'll be stripping the head and deciding what to do in regard to the pistons, new or not...........
