Timwildman Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Well basically my supra replacement went to have it's cam belt replaced today. I supplied the garage with a new ford cambelt kit, and all the other extras need to change the belt. got a call to say they had an accident.... They didn't tightent the bolt that locks the cam wheel... :thumbdown so my question is what other damage might have the piston meeting valve do? They are taking the head off to see how many new valves they need now. It's a 1.8td if that makes any diffrence. Does any one know if the head bolts and head gasket can be re-used?

letmeshowyou Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 timing chain snapped on my dad's scorpio a few weeks ago. theres actually piston damage where the valves hit them, but not enough to warrant doing anything about it! its never a good idea to reuse head bolts or gasket mate.

absz Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 the 1.8d . you will need new headgasket,bolts and i have seen valve guides also cracking when the valves bend . it all depends on the engine speed at time of the timing slipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I can tell they only just turned it over when it slipped. I'll be going to have a look myself sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
