David,
This is one possible
scenario I have seen,
Cam belt goes "little snap" engine goes
big bang as valves put holes in pistons and fuel mixture is fed into sump
and ignites, providing biggest bang.
Cheers

just a quick question
not datto related but it's a nissan so I thought someone may know my mate has an 1999 N15 Pulsar and has asked me
to go to his place tomorrow afternoon and take a look at it for him. just
thought I'd check with the people in the know and see if they have any ideas
as to what I should be searching for. I only
ask because the description he gave me on the phone sounds like 4 problems
all in one all happened at the same time so I thought I'd get some
opinions This is the way he explained it to
me....... "I
was driving down the freeway at around 95-100 km/h when I heard a fairly
loud BANG. At the same time every light in the dashboard came on and
went off then the engine just cut out. I rolled over to the side of
the freeway and got out and popped the bonnet, only to discover my engine
was a raging inferno. Someone driving past pulled over and had a fire
extinguisher in their car and helped me put it out. I got the car
towed home. I can crank it over but there is a very loud clunking
noise." It's got me confused, the dash
board sounds like a wiring problem. At first I thought the bang and
the fire were related, but once he told me about the clunking noise I figure
the bang was something letting go internally. The clunking he described
definately sounds bottom end, perhaps whatever it was that made the bang has
found it's way into the crankcase? Then there's the fire, my guess a
fuel leak somewhere, possibly ignited by a short which would have also
explained the dash, well at least I'd like to think it's that, because if it
was simply ignited by the engine heat then that again leaves me pondering
the dash lights. Now I'm left trying to work out why the hell this all
happened at once. Any thoughts would be
greatly appretiated. Thanks guys'n'gals Dave
