.....and Bones is purring away like nothing has happened. Smooth, quiet, just like she used to be.

So if anybody needs some engine work done on their car, I highly Recommend EC Engines of Brierley Hill.

In case anyone's interested, here a picture of the damaged head.

No wonder it didn't turn over. Just as well it couldn't though. That would've made a he'll of a racket.

Health to enjoy the fruits of your perseverance

What happened? Cambelt?

Bogbrush82 · 13th February 2019, 14:58

Aye. Cold weather had jammed the water pump, causing the belt to jump a few teeth.

Thats a surprising amount of damage for what was basically a starter speed failure.

Years ago I had a belt break and it only bent a couple. More recently my brothers van broke a belt too, and again only bent a few. Both these were at driving speeds.

Can I ask if a new head has been fitted or the original damaged one repaired?

A new head had to be sourced, as the damage to the old one was fatal.
