    but the distributor probably got fubared when it jumped timing.
    +1 any car without a *free* valvetrain that has broke a timing belt can bend a valve.


    Also, you might not need a complete distributor. Sometimes, it's just the COIL inside the distributor that goes out.

    lol you must not even read and comprehend the post.
    did you read where the car was running with out any valve noise?
    what about where i checked the coil after it died and for it to have
    12 volts comming out of it.....
    i understand that most the time the valves get bent, but its not the fist
    ohc that i have been around that didnt do damage to when the belt broke...
    ---------
    update on car is ........it my nephews car and his mom "my sister inlaw" is a bitch so im thru with it...lol..
    i found him a distributor on here yesterday and she wouldnt let him go get it...
    enough of my time has been waisted.......

    if they take the car to a shop and get it finished i'll post what it was....

    Did you even TRY a compression test ?

    It doesnt hurt you know.

    Oh and motor can still idle and can even sound like normal with bent valves.



    I just love it when people ask for advice but they dont evn take the time to do what they should be doing to single the problem out.
