cambelt failure c14nz

[tragos]

and now what??
the only problem is cambelt??
does my valves smashed by pistons?

engine C14NZ

sorry for my english.

[meritlover]

perhaps,

stick a new belt on and turn it over.
you may be lucky, at worst you will have damaged a few valves.
but it all depends on the conditions in which it broke. ie speed/revs

[tragos]

downshifting from 4th to 3rd gear aprox 4.000rpm.

who knows

[tragos]

thanx mate!!!

I thought all vauxhall 8v are valve safe?

[meritlover]

no
the spi can cause trouble even at low speed
but any cambelt failure could result in damage if the valve was at max lift at the point of failure

my saxos just died with same problem but biggest problem is that its french

no the biggest problem is that your belt has broken. probably due to gross neglect or incorrect replacement.

The Only One I Know Of That Dosnt Bend Valves Is The 1.3 And The Old 2 Litre

1.2 8v doesnt. Minimal cam lift.
