I am waiting for aaa at the moment because my timing belt got tore up on my way home. I wanted to get the communities input as to how screwed I am so here's what happened. I was cruising at 65 on rt376 and I herd what sounded like road debris under my vehicle. The motor shut down and I pulled to side of the road to see what was the problem and saw my timing belt town up half way. I heard no clunking or obvious signs of valve hitting piston. I want to put my spare oem timing belt on when I get home but here's my question... If my timing marks are all good and lined up there should be no issues correct? As dumb a question it may be I just want to be sure.
. On the plus side all parts are here (even guides if needed) and there no piston damage besides little graze marks. Also checked the rod and main bearings and they checked out fine. Gotta love this motor for its simplicity and the fact it's a pretty easy motor to work on as a whole.
