Broke my timing belt today...

[Tam4511]

[Hecz]

oh come on now, don't give up on. good luck!

What type of driving were you doing right before the belt broke?

 

[Scrpn17w]

when you get back to it. post up some recent pictures of your car. i remember reading through an old thread but.. i havent seen any new pics of your car.

oh. sorry about the bad news too. sucks.

Time for an engine rebuild!

 

[toneekay]

That sucks to hear OC... If anything if you were just cruising low speed, by luck, you'll probably have a few bent valves... Just think of it as an excuse to build the head

I know how you feel though, when I blew the head on my Civic it just sat in the garage for 6+ months.........

I once broke mine passing a semi in my 90 lude but I got extremely lucky it was non-interference.........Doubt yours is tho.

GL man, I'm rooting for keeping the honda...

 

[somejaykid]

that suck good luck with your ride man

Believe it or not, engine damage is not a definite outcome when the timing belt breaks. You may have a 50:50 chance of having no damage. With this optimism, slap a new belt on, time it, and then compression test the cylinders. Good luck.

happened to a buddy of mine's GSR. A tiny rock got stuck in his though.

GG Anthony. Who doesn't change their timing belt when they do a swap??? s**t even n00bs know better. Money was tight??? Parts are around $100 and you got next to free labor. I have no pity on stupidity. f**king retard.

Hows the amish NOS wiring holding up???

go f**k yourself?

i had just purchased a home... had no transportation to work.. and literally could not wait any longer to get the car running.. some people have an infinite amount of money to do things.. i did not have that luxury.. and while its just another $100 to you.. it was $100 i didnt have..

as far as your pity.. its not needed.. and it was not asked for..

 

[PhntmSk8r]

i never changed it.. only had the motor for a couple years..

i guess what i plan to do is just pull it apart and take a look at it.. and go from there.. take it in stride you know.. if the valves are all f**ked up replacing them and the timing belt isnt exactly the end of the world you know.. IF i keep the car.. i also plan to use the time to really work on it and clean up those lose ends..

Ahh you'll end up keeping it. I spent over a year and a lot of money (30% of my yearly income) rebuilding a motor for my car to only have it run for 60 miles (about 2 weeks) and then it blew up. Piston let go of the rod. When i first discovered the problem i said screw it, I'm done.

Gave it about a week to just sit and mellowed out. Realized once you're this far in, you can't really just get out of it.

Hope you keep it man, it's the only VSM coupe i've ever liked.

at this point im pretty sure im keeping it.. with the mentality of getting it running as a back up car.. im already looking at domestic rollers.. i want to finally put together a car thats actually fast...

You are talking engine doom and gloom without really knowing whether there is any engine damage. The fact is that this is not always the outcome of a broken timing belt.
