thats right ! timing belt broke. pissed cant discribe me right now, cause guess what i bought yesterday? A timing belt ,the day after i finally decided to buy a timing belt my brakes.i guess my question to you guys is . How bad can it really be? cause like most people you prob. have those fiends that tell you all kinds of negitive stuff like "ahh you probabbly blew your engine and you have to rebiuld everything" and that makes me wanna back hand them. so honestly how bad can it be. i was on the freeway doing about 60

you will have bent valves, i was going about 15 around a corner and the tensioner pulley broke. i had 4 bent intake valves. you will definately have to have your head rebuilt.

10 bent valves total, tensioner sheared off at the bolt.

everything they said. mine went out b/c the guy didn't do it right the first time. i had low vacuum pressure and all. so going about 15 mph and it snapped. i haven't had any problems since he did it right this time. and that was 7,000 miles ago or back in july.

yea, you will have at least 4 bent valves sorry to tell you. If you are low on cash, I can send you some stock valves that I have left (used but clean). It happened to me when the my timing belt tensioner pully bolt sheared off about a month ago.
