Astitch in time

[garry h]

We've all heard the saying a stitch in time saves nine well if ever that was true it certainly was today.
I bought a new fan belt, cam belt,water pump and tensioner a couple of weeks ago with the intention of giving Betsy a full service.
So today thought I would make a start only to be teased by the sun to go out for a run,so with sunnies on and a big grin on my face I looked forward to a cruise around the Island and just as I was driving her out of the workshop snap, one broken cam belt  .
She was only ticking over so Im hoping not to have to much damage,live in hope and all that  .

Dam. Sorry to hear that mate. I would have opted for the run out instead myself if I was in your shoes too.

Ouch! Hope no damage was done

What a bummer

[SPAXIMUS]

What engine is it. Most of the modern ones are unlikley to not have damage, but if it was a pinto then there is a very good chance you will have no damage.

Should be ok with a pinto. I've never known one to damage with a broken belt. 10 minute job
