What have you got in the way of tools?
Depends on how far it has moved but yes. Can always hammer them straight! I think it may have only moved a notch or two - turns over okay.andz327 wrote:Good chance you've damaged other bits like pushrods

Frank308D would be a good bet - but he hasn't posted since last year. He's an english ex-pat and his location is marked as SW France

Have given up.
Told the garage to just fix it (gave him part numbers) and booked flights home. Got a business to run and wife moaning!
They will email once it is ready for collection and we can come and collect.
At the moment we are camped in their yard - they have a shower and toilet for the mechs, so job done!!

Realistically it's no more than two hours work to change push rods, belt and time it up
Belt has come apart - top section has partly come off - and that is what jammed under the belt and 'lifted' it briefly so it jumped. Needs new belt - going to check pushrods tomorrow. Still tensioned up.DodgeRover wrote:Can you not buy some tools there to do it with? Is the belt knackered or did it just jump due to lack of tension? If it's not lost teeth you might get away with timing it up again?
