2nd @ W.O.T. and the car is dead

Well, I just arrived, took a nice ride on a tow and now im sitting here just thinking about what went wrong with the car.


I was driving since I left my home at normal cruising speed ( 40-50mph ) when I was arriving at my Gf's house I decided to hit the gas a lil just to test the car. ( a road about the lenght of a 1/8 ) So when I did it; 1st was awesome, then shifted to 2nd, and right there, bout 2 secs after I did so or about 4.5k rpms. I head like a small bang on my engine and it died.

I could feel the engine when it stopped working, then followed by a hard ticking noise coming from where the timing belt is located (like a "clank clank clank"). My rev's and speed went down, even with the car still moving and everything lit on my gauges.


After that the car went to a stop. I walked out of the car to see if there was anything out of place but everything was ok. So I tried firing the car... no response, not even the sound of a starting engine, just the plain sound of something spinning inside ( starter ?? )

After that and the tow trip, I checked my timing belt, and it seems like its not broken, I mean its tight and where it should be.


My timing belt was replaced at about 115-116k miles & yesterday I did an oil & filter change.


So... my engine is blown ?

Also checked the oil and its ok, no loss of oil or anything

Are you sure it didnt jump timing? Is the BS belt still there?

Take off your upper timing belt cover (if you have one) then take a ratchet and spin the crank pulley until the little mark on the outer most edge hits the T (on the lower timing cover). Then look at your cam sprockets, both cam knobs should be facing up 12:00. If they are off then you jumped timing and your valves are bent.

UPDATE:

I fixed the car about 2 weeks ago, but didn't had time to get back with the results.

It was the balance shaft belt that broke and somehow the car bent all of the 8 valves next to the intake manifold ( Sorry I can't name it correctly, im an ESL )


So I got another head and bought the balance shaft belt, and put the car back in time.

Thx !
