andys101 Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 In what way?It make a real mess of the head and the piston crowns.Go through the Yello Pages for engine reconditioners and get a price, tell them that the cam belt has snapped.Then get a price for a second hand engine, if you can find one.
