Hi guys
Please help me with some questions i have with repairing my 2010 ford focus 2.5 st. My cambelt tensioner bolt broke and it caused all my valves to bend and so on. They are busy fixing my car at a approved dealership. I would just like to know what is the benifits of this repair on my engine life and so on, or any advice as im new and would like to know how well my car will drive and maybe some kind of lifespan on my car. Thanks

Done properly it should last just as long as it would have originally. Obviously with new valves, gaskets and belt etc it'll last a lot longer

The benefit is it will work again. Hopefully it will all go smoothly with good quality parts used for the repair.
