Thank god for non-interference engines.
I assume it was either an A. defective belt or B. not installed properly, as it only had 25,000 miles on it. You guys think I should take it back to the mechanic that did it and demand he fix it for free? That would present a towing issue, granted, as he's an hour away; whereas there's another shop at the bottom of my block that I could literally push the car to. At least I know why my car is not starting now. |

I'm still worried... the engine sure did clank and slam when it died for not being interference. Any of the guru's want to explain this one? Any possible way a non-interference engine could bend valves, etc, from a timing belt breaking?

Well, you've got a chunk of rubber slamming around in the timing belt cover so that could very well have been the noise you heard. There is no way to bend a valve in a non-interference engine without the introduction of a foreign object or severe lack of lubrication and even then I would think something else would fail first. --------------------  Project ST204.5 99.88946% complete... |
