Anyone want to have a guess as to how you can do this to an engine?

I'm sure my wife would know.

That's horrific! The only explanation I can suggest is that it has been deliberately neglected or abused to the extreme.

That was the initial problem!

That was the initial problem!

Then give it a boot full?

[G60Rallye]

Initial but not final!?

Did somebody try to bump start it when it wouldn't go?

High rpm cambelt failure most likely overheating as well....

[Knight Rider S4]

Thats been run on Nitrous or something ..extreme heat

Customer says " my mate fitted a cambelt,it wouldnt start so we towed it round the block for a bit but it still wouldnt start,can you have a look?"....................

This is what happens when the nice recovery people put the front wheels of the car on a towing dolly, put the car in reverse gear for some reason yet to be divulged to me, and then tow it with the rear wheels on the floor for 45 miles.

Do you think I can mend it?

Holy crap!, you've got to be kidding!
But looking at the horrific results, obviously not. What the hell were they thinking doing that?


Edit : Please tell me that's not an ADU!

Looking at the water manifold it would be an AAN.
