If you can take the head off yourself and take a look at it I would recommend doing that regardless of what people think. I snapped my timing belt very recently at low speed and thought for sure I bent some valves as I heard some not-so-good noises. But low and behold they were all spared, pistons and all. But I am still glad we pulled the head and had it pressure tested just to make sure. Plus, it gives you a chance to get some of the carbon off the pistons and valves as it tends to build up.

I have heard the once the timming belt is gone that the valves need to be replaced also. Any truth to this? ________________________________________________________________ Sign Up for Juno Platinum Internet Access Today Only $9.95 per month! Visit www.juno.com
