Hey guys today one of the worst days that my celica has ever seen. I was coming back from getting my check in dallas when i heard a strange rubbing (like the belts were tangled) and then CA-POW!

Not sure how the whole process happened the only think i can think is when the timing and water pump went it caused oil pressure to surge and pop the oil return line off which caused all the oil to drain on the concrete.

This is really going to set back my turbo set up. frown.gif

Anyhow car is getting fixed be ready tomorrow but here are some pics for your viewing.

when was the last time you change your water pump.

I'm 90% sure your water pump failed causing your timing belt to go with it.

that's usually how it goes. Once the water pump lets go the timing belt becomes 'comtaminated" and has to be changed. You have to romove the timing belt to change the pump anyway so it all makes sense.
