Hello There
« on: 28 December 2007, 14:59:39 »
 Hello Everyone,

Hope you all had a good xmas.

Mine was okay except I've snapped the cambelt on my Omega V6,  :( what I'd like to know is whether the valves hitting the pistons on these engines is a guaranteed certanty or whether it's just a possibility. If it's only a possible then I'll have it looked at.

Anyone know of any independents in the West Wales / Carmarthenshire area who can do the belt / tensioners or is it best to take it to a main agent ? My local garage who does all my other servicing declined to do the belt because of the need for the specialist locking tool kit.

Sorry about all the questions in a newbie post.

Kind regards,

Steveo.

Hi Steveo and welcome to the forum :y

I would say if the belt has snapped then it will be replacement heads but if the belt has only jumped a couple of teeth then you could be lucky.

Welcome to the forum steveo, sorry to hear about the cam belt. Very few get away whithout damage to the heads and valves but you will need a compression test to know more, best of luck to you. :y
