Check compression. First .

Yep ill Do a Compression test too forgot to put that... Im starting to worry about the balance shaft belt breaking, could have taken out the CPS.

Balance shaft belt broke and took out cps.... Glad I found the problem

might want to check the internals and see the damages.

Did your tach drop to 0 immediately before you pushed in the clutch? If so check your fuses, I had an ignition fuse blow once and my tach dropped to 0.

What could it have harmed?

 

[fonzi90Tsi]

Could have bonded in the timing belt and made it jump timing. That's how my first motor went. Pistons slapped the intake valves pretty bad.

Definitely check your timing...your lucky it didn't break your timing belt, but it still could of jumped teeth. Followed by a compression test as stated.

Another reason to do the balance shaft eliminator kit. Just imagine those things turning at twice crankshaft speed. Your balance shaft bearings probably locked up. At 8500rpm they were turning at 17,000rpms...

You are very lucky that didn't take out your timing belt.

Cold Compression numbers came in 140 140 140 135 we all know Compression guages are hit or miss...

 

[cartz-snopro]

man you got lucky, eliminate that thing now

 

[chadillac2820]

Yea don't put a new belt on. Ditch the balance shafts!

Well we need the car running like today... What do you guys think about a Gates Timing Belt from Autozone?

 

[jmartinez1228]

How your timing belt didn't break is driving me nuts mine broke and took the belt with it. You are a very lucky guy. Like getting hit by lightning kinda luck.

How hard should it be to spin the Balance shaft sprocket?

How hard should it be to spin the Balance shaft sprocket?

It should spin freely. If there's resistance, check the bearing.

Now would be the perfect time to eliminate the balance shafts.

I see nothing in the description of the problem to indicate that the balance shaft bearings are OK but only the belt was bad.

When the balance shaft bearings seize the balance shaft belt breaks.

The balance shaft bearings wear out faster than the main or rod bearings. At 183,000 miles on my Talon the main and rod bearings were like new but the balance shaft bearings were worn to near end of life. I choose to replace the bearings and keep the balance shafts.

I had the same problem like you but at the track. Snapped my balance shaft belt. Top balance shaft seized and found the bearing into 3 pieces. The bottom shaft bearing got loose and cracked the oil pump housing. I suggest taking off the cover and inspecting it before putting it all back together. Better do it once instead of ripping it apart again.

Also check your oil for metal shavings because thats what I found when I checked mine
