:talon: :laser: well i have the jam build 2.4 stroker and some how the timing belt sliped and the car jumped 8 teeth, im picking up a new head this week, does anyone know what the part # is for the belt used in the swap? :(\

and whats my worst case senerio for the car?
 
Worse case It did alot of damage to one of those pistons If not a complete new head will be fine. Some cars cars like my old 92 awd jump timing and you pull the head and the pistons are fine but you notice a little shiny tiny dent on oneof the relief cuts on the pistons. Mine looked perfect. It has 134 on original timing belt.
 
ouch, well but my friend jumped 7 oln his and it just nicked one piston

His jumped and hit the valves. Once it pushed the heads up on the valves they broke off and the rest is what you see. It also but some stress cracks in the block making it unuseable. It was a bad day for him, but the turbo some how survived it all!
