It seems kind of odd that it would just jump timing w/o one of those things happening. If you already said and I just didn't read forgive me!

no bent valves, thank god.
well it was kind of weird, the morning ( yesterday) i was gon take it to the exhaust shop to get it done and looked it, i started the car up, started up, kept my foot on the gas and the rpm wentf rom 2k rpm right back to 0 and turned off and i couldn't restart it, kept just making that tickign sound when you try to start it back up.


to be on the safe side,m i went to and spent about 250 bucks and bought a new timing belt kit( comes with a tensioner), new water pump, cam seals, and crank seals

also whats wierd, i only have 67k-70 k on this motor, im suprised it went out this early, imma still have my mechanic ( who is back in town) look at it for me
