i have no way to my job, except this car.
my car died on the interstate. got a mobile mechanic to come check it out.
timing belt was broke. worked 1 hour yesterday. today he has been out there 7 hours and quit.

the car wont start back up.
fuel and spark are good.
help!

there is no compression it will not run without a head/valve job and a new timing belt, tensioner, and water pump.


not sure why your mechanic couldn't tell you that in about 1 hour.

the car was towed to my house.

You need to take the top half of the engine apart and pray you didn't do more damage to the valves than what had already been done.

Good luck bud.

12 valves toasted.

yeah was going to say all your valves would be bent. Keep it all together and take it and request the head be rebuilt. It can be if it did not destroyed the seats to the valves.

up and running.
