cut out with a wurring noise??? |
|
If what i suspect has happened cam belt failure! not had a chance to pull it a part yet, is it a knackered engine or is it possible as was only doing15-20mph pulling away from the lights when it happened,I may have got away with it???
it did try to turn over but then got that ominous no compression sound so stopped turning it over and got it recovered. Basically am I screwed or is it worth replacing the belts and oil pump and tensioners and cross everything and hope!

Its very rare that you get away with it, you will have bent valves at a minimum. Andrew

track down a set of heads from one with a kn*ckered bottom end, they are often cheap enough to make it worthwhile, then sell off the bits you dont need after you have worked out whats bu**ered. Must stop buying shiny toys....

As already suggested you will have some bent valves as a minimum.
Some guys put a series on Utube, had the same with a RRS sport, same engine I believe. They rebuilt it. May be worth a look.

Thanks for that info will try and find it on utube, only problem is finding the time to do it all! I have found a pair of heads from a reconditioned engine for £300 but only got the sellers word that they were not on the car for very long before the gearbox when and he decided to scrap the car and sell the "good bits".wonder if I should take a punt or get it a recon engine supplied and fitted for around£2400?

Having reconditioned a number of these engines myself that price is way to cheap, LR recon engines are just over 4k and you know they have been built to the right standard. Andrew
