hi people iv recently brought a turbo cab which needs bits doing but cut a long story short i was driving normal & the car just stopped . when i lifted the bonnet i saw the cambelt had snapped so i pushed the car back home and today iv fitted a new belt and now its got a misfire (sounds like a scooby). have i fucked the head valves ? or is the timing out ? . its the first time iv ever did a cambelt and i think iv done it right any help would be grateful guys.

 

When the cam-belt snapped you probably bent some valves so you'd need to get the head off and strip it down mate

 

or you could do a compression check of all cylinders before removing the head,

do your timing marks line up ok?

 

thanks for reply guys , i thought i mite have bent valves but worse case iv got another mint head which il just bang straight on when weather gets abit better .
i dont have access to a compression tester im afraid , but im sure iv timed it rite. bottom pulley at 12 o'clock in line with mark on block has cover got damaged when belt snapped & top pulley at 12 o'clock to is this rite ?

 

sounds about rite,

 

sounds like iv done some valves in then o well u learn from ur mistakes could of been worse i suppose thanks
