busted my timing belt :(
 

so im cruising in my neighborhood today, looking for girlies

and i deciced to punch it down the street, i go and step in it

and all i hear is pop.. and my turbo spooling to a stop.

and stop and turn the key, motor is spinning like a muthafuk.

pushed the car home, and my timing belt was in 4 pieces. turns

out it was dry rotted like a bitch and my lil rev limit

bouncing at the track the other day killed it.

i changed the belt and by the hand of GOD himself, no valves

were bent.

ok, ill shut up now

so i guess you did not do change your timing belt on time (60Kmiles?)

and i know, it is a bitch to push your car all the way back to your house.

so now you learned you should do mainence on time.

how do you know, your valves did not bent? special you kept on cranking it with the broken belt?


why don`t you do a compression check, to make sure it is REALLY ok.

:P ;D

your so lucky. my freind was going 25mph and busted his timing belt and bent 4 exaust valves at like 2000 rpm.

Re:busted my timing belt :(
 

i have the compression tester right here, but im too scared to check and know the truth. i rather sit here and lie to myslef, its sounds good, therefore it must be ok :)

Re:busted my timing belt :(
 

change timming belt at 60k miles? the owners manual says 100k miles 99 civic si.

Re:busted my timing belt :(
 

haha, sounds like a plan to me

Re:busted my timing belt :(
 

my motor is a j spec d15b and i know they dont come over from japan with more than lik 35K due to restrictions over there and ive only put about 10k max on it, im pretty sure i havent hit 60k yet, much less 90k, ---- was just dry rotted.

come`on we are not the only one that know how to flip the numbers. ;)

Re:busted my timing belt :(
 

I don't understand this concept of they can only get their engines to 35k in JDM land..... As a mater a fact the only time I've ever heard this is whenever you talk about honda motors. Talk about a Toyota or Nissan engine and this hardly comes up. Anyone have any straight dirt evidence on this? *sorry to jack your thread :P*

it costs a fortune to own and drive a car in japan and unlike here they charge more tax for a car that is older so if you have a 12 year old car its like paying for a new suv here. so they trash it and get a new one, the car could be spotless and perfectly fine but it costs too much for anyone to own one. so sell the engine to the US or Europe and then trash the rest.
