hotashel Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Hi, If your that good here goes. My cam belt snapped on my mark 4 escort cabby MFI 16 XR3I. I cluched it straight away and stopped. My thoughts on this are that as I have done this and it is old, 8v and petrol it should be ok, what do you think????? H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H I beleieve this is a free running engine and the pistons should not have hit the valves if it is a 1.6 CVH. Replace the belt and turn it over, if it spins fast or starts to runs rough then toy have hit the valves and lost compression, head off and and pary for the best.
