Since the 16v (like the early diesels) is an interference motor, chances are over 50% that you bent a couple of valves. On the bright side, you were at a low enough rpm that you probably didn't break off any valve heads and try to stuff them through the pistons (BTDT).
Think of this as your golden opportunity to pull the head and get that 3 angle valve-job that you've always wanted. --- [email protected] wrote: > What are the chances that I don't have any bent valves? > > The belt went after I had slowed almost to a crawl (in 2nd) for a > red light and then was starting to accelerate through after it had > changed green.
