I suspect the head gasket cause the some water/coolant came out the water tank.

Faheemo. Can you tell me why you suspect your head gasket has a failure? I do not see the connection with your water tank?

Good luck with the rebuild .

Cam belt.10 bent valves means no compression.

cam belt is still on and looks fine , will check timing as soon as the frunt bumper is off

[europeanme]

sounds pretty bad dude....let's hope it's nothing too bad...

good luck...

If the cam belt looks good then i'd suspect it has dropped a valve or two.

Bit of a bar steward Sorry to hear this. By the way, £1800 for a re-spray, was that to change colour inside and out? If not I will need to tell dad to up his prices

Head gasket can fail between a water jacket and a cylinder.
Pressure from the cylinder can then enter the coolant system, pressurising it and blowing a hose off or as in my case releasing some pressure from the coolant/water tank.

My cam belt looks fine as well, but she swings with no compression and it sounds as if not a single cylinder is firing.
I pray it's not the worst, 4 us both.

Sorry 4 the hijack but i guess we in the same boat.

[Knight Rider S4]

Good luck hope it is not to expensive

[Faheemo]

Just to update this thread, my cars crank (cambelt) pulley sheared the keyway and slipped the timing. therfore no compression. Therafter 10 valves bent.

After having a look at the crank pulley dahlback offer i decided to Manufacture my own pulley made from EN19T steel. the dahlback one costs beeg EUROS.
I will be running a few extra for much cheaper if anyone is interested.

[Acidburn]

keep us updated, i'd have been tempted to take the head off and check the valves tho?

do you think they will be ok?
