      timing belt

      so i went to the dealer to get my timing belt changed and when i got it back the timing was off. The guy fixing it even took it for a test drive after he got done with it, and told the service manager everything is good. Im wondering if the timing is off would that harm the valves at all? Cause if it breaks the valves go too. I don't think it hurt anything, but just thought i'd ask.

      thanks.

      I wouldn't care about bent valves, if the timing is off i'd take that s**t back and have them do it right, on their expense of course

      Well, The timing was one notch off, and it was still running like crap.

      They are replacing all the valves (under warranty of course). I baby this car too.

      EVERYONE GO TO THE DEALER AND HAVE THEM CHECK THIS OUT BEFORE THE WARRANY RUNS OUT!!!!!!
