Hi All, this is my first post. I was determined not to be the guy whose car was on jack stands or in pieces more than it was on the road. However...
I recently purshcased a 1991 JDM Evo 0, great original condition with 144,000kms (~90,000Omiles) on the clock. I have spent a lot of time and effort performing maintenance as outlined in this forum and the VFAQ.
On my way to buy the airtools I required to replace my timing belt and all other required parts, my timing belt breaks. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif
Obviously I have all the timing parts (and tools) needed to execute the repairs required.
My questions are:
Aside from removing the head and checking/replacing any bent valves are there any other parts that I will need to inspect? Will the bottom end (pistons, rods, bearings etc...) have survived this? What about Cams, rockers and lifters?
Some info on the event: Car was warmed up, I was approaching an intersection at about 30kmh (20mph) I pushed in the clutch to change down and "bang" then I hear the tinkling of valves meeting pistons and it stops running. I coast to the side of the road and thats it. Not under load, not high RPM's, and not in gear.
I pulled the upper timing cover off and it looks like the balance shaft belt snapped and took out the timing belt. I haven't pulled the lower timing cover yet.
I would appreciate some input on how far I have to go to ensure that everything is okay to get this back on the road.
