yeah, I knew I should change the belt. It's a nissan frontier with 135000 on the odo. I didn't hear any really loud crunchy sounds so maybe I got lucky? I doubt it. My luck has completely run out.
Here is a recap of my last two weeks. BAD Things. 1.. Wife left me. 2. 914 started running like shit. 3. Hit a deer in my pick up. 4. Lost my timing belt in the same pickup. 5. Had to pay a lawyer 1000....uh that was supposed to be my mortgage payment for that damned house that I don't even live in now. Anyway, anybody busted a timing belt on a nissan 3.3 v6? Did it cause extreme damage? I plan to try to turn the cams over by hand and if they turn ok, I think I'll buy a belt and try it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

I was replacing the belt on my 944T and stopped for the night. Came back the next moring, finished up and and tried to start. No dice. I rechecked and realized that I had set on the wrong mark. Bent a few valves. Starter turned over nicely. I did get luck that I didn't bend them all.
I'ld put money on bent valves, but on the bright side you can check off the head gasket for a few more miles. |
