Timing belt broke a few years ago and while getting ready to pull and replace the engine i decided to pull the valve cover and i noticed that none of the valve lashes were loose and i couldn't move any of them by hand as you sometimes can when a valve is bent. They were all snug against the cam.
The engine spins freely and there's no noise, i looked in the spark plug hole with a light and didn't see any obvious marks in the piston.
I'm tempted to just put a new timing belt kit on it and try it since i have one here.
My only big worry is the kit i have i was going to use for the new engine since it's only coming with a belt and not the pulleys/tensioner etc.
What do you guys think.
