[DrR]

Well it's basically same as broken cambelt, so a lot by the looks of it.

 

[Leeshez]

Ouch that is nasty, how unlucky have you been.

 

[MEDD]

Well it's basically same as broken cambelt, so a lot by the looks of it.

What caused it? or just bad luck?

i would also like to know that, unable to give you an answer with the head on! there must be something wrong somewhere, that has caused that to shear!

[Fred@BTM]

how much would you sell the car for as is?

 

[SBV116]

new head or engine

Need the head off to examine fred, just found out what had gone on last thing today! its certainly goosed, new head at least i would say!

 

[Fred@BTM]

almost takes as long to change the head as it does to swap the entire engine, plus second hand heads are rare as hell! (thats for the nice comments about our exhausts BTW )

 

[SBV116]

it would be a recon head!, as long as the pistons arent mullered! the zorsts tidy!

 

[DrR]

How much is an engine? Make me an offer on the car Fred. It's had new everything.

Steve, i'll phone you in the morning.

There must be another fault somewhere surely mike! i took the rocker cover off expecting to find something, everything looks fine in there though.

Bit far away otherwise i'd be buying that!

 

[SBV116]

^^ its a looooong walk to portsmouth!

 

[Dan@SJM]

so like i said if the pully has failed it'll be the same as snapped cambelt. but oh no im wrong as the belt is still tight.

 

[Trev_m]

I've seen this before pulley colapse means crank & cams are no longer timed right your noise was valves bouncing of pistons, if your lucky no damage to pistons.
I have a complete head you can have for £200 or I may buy your car if the price is right as I have the parts I need to fix it.
If your interested call me 07814953892

 

[DrR]

Thanks for the interest car is now being fixed as we speak. Finding out if the head is knackered to.

 

[mikey_172]

ive got a spare engine if you need parts unless some one buys it first

 

[DrR]

^^^ cheers for the offer but think i'll be ok.

Heads been checked, thats ok But needs 8 valves, gay thing.

 

[Dan@SJM]

8v very lucky!

 

[DrR]

How much is 8 valves gonna cost me roughly? Said there exhaust valves if that means anything?

 

[Dan@SJM]

means they're the most expensive ones.

at a guess about £10ish each.

 

[mattih5]

DrRollo, did you noise just suddenly appear or did it gradually work from being quiet to getting like it is in your video? I have a slight tapping noise when idling after a while but people on here reckon it is the carbon cannister thing. Sometimes I can hear it and other times I can't.

 

[DrR]

Went to town, gave it death for about 10 miles home then dad said it was making a funny noise. Then it happened as i was reversing out to go to a garage, so all happened within say 15 miles.
