I didnt think the NA engine was non interference?

 

Is the N/A non interference ? I thought the N/A and TT were "almost" identical with the exception of turbos, headgasket etc. ?

 

If the cambelt goes on a TT and it doent cause any damage, whats all the massive fuss about, when people rush around madley to get the cambelt changed so regularly ?

I would take this kind offer buddy. Wouldn't want to see you getting shafted for unnecessary work.

Pechey, have you seen this garage actually replacing the engine? Is it possible they're fobbed you off saying "it needs a new engine" and then simply changed the cambelt and got it working properly?

 

What's happened to your old engine, as it's possibly OK and you could sell it to someone who's looking for a NA/TT conversion. Subject to it being checked out of course

In my younger days i got my timing 180 degrees out on my mr2 (also non interference) it simply wouldnt start, but correcting the belt fired her into life, no damge at all.

 

I think youd have to be running at redline and the belt to snap to come anywhere near the valves being damaged - it sounds like some dodgy garage is pulling your leg so hard its going to pop off - name and shame!!

 

However, sounds like your car has a nice fresh engine in it, so enjoy a free bump and good luck with the sale of what should be a very nice car for someone :cool:

what it is, is that my car went to a mate that is a mech but he screwed the job up so i went to a mot garage to get it checked out they said that the reason for the no start is cos the valves are bent and possibly the pistons so i wanted to just puut another engine in it which mr engine ltd did who are based in barking essex and are very good guys so i cant really get the engine bk
