I pulled my valve cover of to see what the problem might be with my car , and low and behold the roller were just laying there ( on the intake side only) and the ones that hadent fallen out were lose. The cam dident have any play in it and the vavles arent bent. All the springs are up and all seem to be in order but it would appear that there is a little gap between the valve and roller to the cam lobe . ????? UM so i have no clue what thats caused from its like just not tight like it should be . The spring is not up enough or someing i dont know but all of the intake side valves are like that ?????? Anyone >?<
 
i think it did jump time ......i had crank seal done at the shop and i told them since they were in there to go ahead and do to timing belt ... free labor , so they did and hmmmm now my car is blow up ????????? hmmmmmm weird huh
 
How are you sure the valves aren't bent? Sounds like you had contact to me...........
 
as defiant would say......

your valves made love to your pistons. Sounds like you DID skip timing. Did the car run after they changed the timing belt? it is possible they put it on wrong or rotated it ccw.
 
yea it ran real good for about a day then it progressivly started to get worse , it just seemed to weird that all the intake ones all bent i and none of the exhaust sides did . i dont know i think im gonna take the head off today
 
Take it back to the shop and tell them they F'd it up good. If they dont give you any response then tell em "Im gonna burn this mother down"

They did you belt wrong and you valves hit your pistons. You will need the head fixed and most likely pistons.
