I'll post up the symptoms in another thread, but if the timing was to go out of sync on these engines, would the valves hit the piston if sufficiently far out?
ThisYes - I also think it is an interference engine
Reads like the chain has jumped a tooth and bent the valves from your other post.
Thanks Mike. Just read your thread; you were up against the clock a bit!
I'll update the other thread with photos but basically timing is out and looks like bent valves.
When you did it, did you manage to do it with the engine still in the frame? Also, as well as the two valves, what other parts did you end up replacing to do the job?
Thanks. Gareth
