GuzziHero Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Hi all, Sorry to start by begging for info but I really need help. My friend owns a 1999 Escort 1.8 TDi Duratec and his cambelt snapped with a pop, whizz and hiss, and he is worried that there has been valve damage. Info I have seen on this car suggests that the SOHC has enough valve clearance to prevent head/valve damage but can anyone confirm this? Thanks in advance of any replies!

stef123 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Unless anyone knows otherwise, according to autodata its an interference engine so you are likely to have bent valves im afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuzziHero Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 And the answer is... its kippered. 7 valves, broken cam. To the For Sale section! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
