[Broomies Mate]

Shame you'd not disconnected the battery ... how much damage did she do  

Was a 1.8, 8V Cav, bent some valves, didn't have much money at the time, managed to hammer the valves straight on my mate lathe, followed with de-choke, HG, Cambelt and Water Pump, good as new. 

I thought that was a non interference engine?

Exactly what I was told by a 1.8 Manta owner at the time, which was one of the reasons I took the job on with limited funds Ross, decided to check and whip the head off anyway for a de choke and found some slightly bent valves, not badly, but still bent.

Every day on OOF is a school day for me!  Always learn something new!

What do you mean by that? sorry, but not heard that phrase that I am aware of, could take a punt but thought I would ask....

The engine is designed / built in a way that the Head valves will not hit the Pistons through variations of there cycles, ie, if cambelt breaks any valves poking down should be missed by the pistons still rotating, sort of went out the window with twin cam / multi valve design.
