OK Timming belt slipped on Crankshaft.
Caused by fan Belt getting rapped in between the crank pulley.
OK I remove broken fan Belt .set Timming
Back up . Pin Crankshaft pump & camshaft.
Ohhh buy way this is a 2.5 turbo diesel van.
But now it missing bad.
Question is . Is it just bend push rods .
Would values have hit pistons???
Anyone with knowledge on these engines.
Be much appreciated

The valves do hit the piston but they usually bend push rods the most I’ve had is 3 and one snapped a rocker arm that’s the most damage I’ve had never had to take a head off , remove the rocker cover and have a look some on here have straightened the push rods with no problems after.

Worst one I've had over the years was 5 bent push rods and 2 bust rockers.

I've got a spare set of push rods and some spare rockers "just incase"
