Clio172 timing belt collapse

[Hondarimram]

Hello.i just bought a Renault Clio 172 and when I was driving into a car park it stopped,tried to turn over and it doesn't fire.anyway after taking the engine out and took timing case off,one of the pulleys have collapsed so the timing is out.do you think if I set timing up with new pulleys it will be fine.or do you think valves would of bent?? Cheers

I would be cheaper to put a second hand engine back in .

Just try and see it running before you buy a new one.

It will not be cheap whichever way you chose to repair it, the valves will be bent.
