A picture speaks a thousand words!







All 6 exhaust valves bent to hell, change that timing belt! (not from my car, was given an I head for free)

Head was trash, where the rocker shaft goes thru head cracked.

i have heard a few of these driving around here. no mistaking them

How do you bend ALL 6? Aren't there only 2/3 open at a time? Meaning, when the belt snapped, the head would stay in what ever position it was in at the time. Or would it keep spinning a bit?

As long as the cam has enough oomph behind it, and was spinning fast enough I could see it turning over a couple times before completely stopping.

My thought is that the engine was at high rpm's when it happened. The weird thing was that the damage to the rocker shaft and broken rocker was on the intake side? I guess the valves gave on the exhaust side and since they didn't on the intake side something else had to give.
