Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project possibly, thinking that atm :( Just about to take the head off, then I can get the lower cam cover off easier and see whats in the bottom of it, im guessing gravel...

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project Bit of an update.....Got the cam cover off... Nice chewed up belt....pulled it out... Had a quick look.... Bit of gravel, im guessing there definitely must be more down the bottom for this to happen :(

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project Going to take the head off tomorrow, and look at the damage. If none of the inlet valves are bent, its possible I could rebuild this easily, as i have a spare set of exhaust valves. Although, if any of the inlets are bent, I'm stuck.... If thats the case, I'm either...

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project its worth f**k all, catch 22 situation.......break it for bits and thats bout it, cant be fucked doing that though! dont see how a 1k old belt/tensioner/idler can fail, i always triple check when im timing it up, tension etc, FFS

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project Some people have suggested it, but i highly doubt it, its completely sealed with loads of 10mms from the bottom, then obviously the top covers too... I dont know whats going to happen now, I have no way of fixing it, and not enough money to start rebuilding engines again...
