Bad things.

haha, thats the first thing that i thought when i read it !!

Its pretty obvious that it ain't gonna be good !!

Mine slipped 6 teeth at 2000 rpm and bent 8 exhaust valves and smashed all the exhaust guides so it ain't going to be pretty.

[draper]

it would turn into a 993c OHV engine

[coombsey]

my old head bent 8 exhaust valves and cracked two guides

[Lee]

Big Mess.

If it didnt bend a valve stem at least 90 degrees, id be very dissapointed lol

thats why i love 8 valvers. i bought a cav seh 8 valve with the belt snapped. timed it up and a new belt she was singing! sounds nasty though.

[Adam]

Even 8 valvers can get damaged by a belt snap tho. Highly likely.

Altho pretty much 100% certain on a 16v
