If so then i think it would of done more then 87km and just been turned bak. normally u do a major service at 80-100km and change the timing belt.   if you've done a timing belt then more then likely you have dropped afew valves into the piston(s).. you could b lucky and only bent valves.. but you wont know until you pull the head off..   anyways if your after more advice from guys who drive vr4s check out.. www.clubvr4.org   Jon   ----- Original Message ----- From: Greg Dobson To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, December 19, 2004 10:06 PM Subject: [GSR_EVO] Broken timing belt   last Friday the timing belt on my VR4 broke at 87.000 ks, has this hppened to anybody else? If so are the 4G63 engine designed to not break anything? or do thry like to bend valves & hole pistons? i was'nt driving it hard at the time just crusing along at 50-60 ks, any advice is welcomed.   Doogie Community email addresses:   Post message: [EMAIL PROTECTED]   Unsubscribe:  [EMAIL PROTECTED]   List Owner:   [EMAIL PROTECTED] Community email addresses:   Post message: [EMAIL PROTECTED]   Unsubscribe:  [EMAIL PROTECTED]   List Owner:   [EMAIL PROTECTED] Community email addresses:   Post message: [EMAIL PROTECTED]   Unsubscribe:  [EMAIL PROTECTED]   List Owner:   [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo!
