I'll check the wiring, probably the least of my worries, try c whats up with the engine, would the worst case scenario be that it needs a new cylinder head or would the bottom end be f**ked aswell

Well people who have had belts snap and fitted a new head (if they can get away with it) normally never have any more troubles but i have heard a few rumours of bottom ends going a while after the belt snap. Why i don't know but there must be a relation there somewhere. If it turns out it is a tapper, id be tempted to have the pistons out whilst the head is off, fit new rings and new big and main bearings. |

What vehicle did the engin come from ? Later Gtis don't have have oil pres senders ? Ask your mechanic if he checked the timing before he changed the belt ? It's very easy to get it all wrong if the crank pulley is no good ? Or you rotate a cam in error to get it timed up ? What cam belt kit did you use ? 136 or 137 tooth belt kit ? |

That isn't a valve 'tapper'.It definitely has bottom end problems though.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

Either way tappers, bent valves or bottom end, it's goon to cost a heap of money to fix, which I dont have, time to cut my losses I think |

I had a big end go a few weeks back and caught it just in time to just need a very light polish on the crank and some new big ends. With oil and a filter, cost me £70. Of course you need to get the crank and rods checked as well. |

Engines not that easy to come by here, have to try find one online and take the risk its running good. Theres a lot to be said for seeing and hearing an engine rather than buying online. |

I'll have to see what my mechanic says when he looks at it, £70 fix I would be delighted, doubtful though. Hard to trust my mechanic now 2 when he could have caused the problem in the first place with the timing |

Looks like it's the tappets after all and get her timed up properly, hopefully will do the trick. Where would the best place be to get a set of tappets. |

I'd be surprised if it was the tappets. Don't normally become a problem on these engines. ________________________________________ 230 hp 2.1 16v XU 205 rallye on jenveys Project thread here309 3dr K20 Type R |
