Sat at the side of the road...

So the belt put a hole in the cambelt cover and thengot caught up. The belt slipped about 10 teeth. Gutted. The engine did turn over by hand but not really sure where to go from here. I've set the timing again and the engine turns over cleanly. Not sure if there's a chance of hints hitting as it's on stock cams, so may have clearance?

The 3B, AAN, ABY and ADU are all interference engines and if you break a cam belt or the timing gets shoved over too far (10 teeth probably qualifies as "too far") the pistons hit at least one cylinder's intake valves, i.e. 2. Sorry to tell you that.

Hope I am wrong about 10 teeth being too far.

Pics of the belt remains found in the cambelt cover and the pulley.

All my fingers crossed for you mate
Re-set timing & see if it will run. If it does, compression test and go from there. If not, head off etc

Guess I'll need to put it back together properly. It turned over cleanly with the timing set but I didn't feel much compression. That said, I can't remember if it was like that when I built it...

Bad luck Andy! Hope it's not the worst case scenario. Keep us posted!

So was out for a run today and while going through a village at a sedate speed, there was a loud sound like gravel hitting the car and then the engine cutout...

On inspection, the alternator belt had disintegrated and oddly the car wouldn't start.

Long and short, looks like the alternator belt has caused the cambelt to jump... have to wait and see when I get it apart but just waiting for a flat bed to get me the 3 miles home now...
