Hey Everybody, I'm new to DSMtuners, My name is Ranin, I live in stony plain, Alberta.

Even with the DSM "stigma" i have still bought two 1992 Eagle talons,
one had a smashed belt tensioner and almost blew up.
now i have one sitting in my garage with a snapped timing belt.

im hoping no valves were smashed, as i am on a limited budget.

I was wondering, how do you get to tdc with no timing belt?
 
If the timing belt snapped your gonna have bent valves -no ifs ans or buts about it tear the head off and go from there
 
well basically i'll get a leakdown test done, and get the timing done either way. it would be nice to get it running, even if its not running the best (i know, bad news)
but when the belt snaped you think you would have heard stuff being hit, it was more like it just shut right off..

And some guy that worked on my car lost my valve cover bolts and so far they are proving to be the hardest damn thing to find.
