[Nick_106]

More than likely bent atleast 5 or 6 valves if cambelt has snapped!

[mrpurser]

[iluminusbutterfly]

yes, if you havre bent the valves they have to be gorund out and new ones in, thats presuming nothing else is damaged

Your always on here late like me lol. I prefer the forums at this time tbh.

For an average engine on average mileage and condition your looking at about £350.

Or you could find a done up engine cammed, tb's, standalone etc for well into four digits £,£££

I paid £520 for mine 13 months ago. Had only done 24k and had a new cambelt fitted before it was shipped to me. Pretty hard to get hold of though cause everyone wants them.

Ive got an engine for sale- no gearbox though. From a late 2001 98bhp VTR. It's done 76k miles, new cambelt 15k ago, starter motor, alternator, manifold and cat all still attached. Oh and a drivers drive shaft lol. Reguarly self serviced, no knocks, runs brilliantly.

i would say its more than likely fucked
and if you have smashed the valves there could be damage to the pistons and the head itself

if your lucky itll be a case of new valves in your head
if your unlucky most of the motor is ruined

you wont know really till you take the head off
