There a mile out....cam 1 and 2 are sat in the same positions so are a good 120 deg out!

If you look at the water pump, there's shredded 'something' on there.. It seems (but I've not moved the belt yet) that the crank might have pulled the teeth off the inside of the belt?..  :-/


What should I do next? ?

Do I assume the worst and dismantle further to investigate?

I think there's almost zero chance that the engine has escaped valve damage, TBH. Could fit a new belt kit, time it up and see if there's any compression but I think it'd be futile. :'(

Nick, check your PM's and give me a call. I'll come take a look. You can report back then.

After a long delay - (my fault only)

A BIG THANK YOU to Welung.. and to other OOF members who are rallying around to help  :y

The car is now in his capable hands - waiting to see just how much damage has been done!

It would be a shame to have to break this car - but I'm afraid it's now in the lap of the Gods  :-/
