CVH's and Cambelts - can you be lucky ?

CVH's and Cambelts - can you be lucky ?
Mate has just picked up a tidy 2i off Ebay, driving it home and I get the call "its cut out" "won't start" .... etc
It's snapped its belt already
I warned him not to get a Ford, but he wants to strip it and build a cheap rally car for some fun.
So has the fun already started ? Do they smash themselves to bits when letting go

Must admit when my CVH went i got a new belt to see first, but ended up taking the head off and it had bent two valves.
My engine just died, didn't make any nasty noises at all, the first thing you then do without thinking is re-start!

Makes you wonder why Ford didn't think about putting pockets in the pistons from word go !!, i bet it would have saved them some money in warranty if cam belts broke !!

I've got two spare CVH's and i'm in Stockport, I would mined getting rid of one so make me an offer.
One's out of an XR3i and I stripped it down ready to rebuild, but ended up buying a second hand engine, so I put it back together loose it with the same rings and shells. It's in really good condition though the car it came out of only had 60k on it. It would need stripping and rebuilding properly.
And I've got the old engine out of my Westfield, which was running o.k. when it was removed.
Are you in Warrington as well? If so we could deliver for free as well.
