It happened while i was driving, arg!
Yes, i had just bought another 90 crx, with a d16z6 motor, and a port and polished head to restore, it was in better condition that my 89 si. Today i decided to swap the cams, i have a zex cam, the other one was stock. Did that, was a little curious about the timing belt, but i said what the hell, its only a quick test drive. sounded a little valve chattery, nneded a valve adjustment, but i took off. I get on the open stretch, get her up to about 5500 in 2 nd gear, and all of a sudden power jsut stops, i pull out the clutch and she dies. Hmmmm, sure enough, that damn timing belt just had to give, so now i have to go out, and hope to god the valves ae okay. Doubt they are, but what the heck. I have two other a6 heads, and 1 other z6 head, just dont want to have to swap right now, plus i dont have a headgasket or anything, to use, hodna's not open till tomarrow. Whatever, had to vent.

yeah, it just plain snapped, first thing that caught my eye as i popped the hood, i grabbed it and started jogging home. Luckily i was only about a mile away from home, wasnt too bad. I still have to go out there and start workign on it. At least its like 75 here in florida, but teh skeeters are startin to come out, lol. I hate these things.
