They hydraulic lifters don't ever fail to be honest.You will have some bent valves. 6 teeth is quite a lot in terms of camshaft degrees. I have a cheap reconditioned cylinder head for sale in the For Sale forum, if you want to get her fixed up.

300 for a head, 100 for pump and belt kit, 15 for bolts, 40 for gasket.itll be good for another 36k when the belt will be due again. rule 1 of gti6/rallye ownership: change the belt. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

tappets can fail, especially at the age they are now, I was a bit sceptical till recently, when i found half a dozen in one head.however this WILL be a few bent valves ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

head of the valve will eventually break off and destroy the engineATM it is fixable with a head rebuild if you loose the valve it is a replacement engine complete |
