Hopefully it isn't the head then Smile

I'm not sure if I'd keep trying to start it though incase it is the belt and it ends up causing more damage but I'm not a mechanic.

Yeh think you picked it up on around 55k I part x'd it at gates on 54, well I hope you can get it sorted mate good luck!

Can you write your compression readings with full throttle?

They were all 165psi and above, not on full throttle and with a dieing battery! (I just wanted to make sure no cylinders were on 0!!)

Sounds like the timing is out. Might be worth taking the belt cover off and physically checking.

So due to time and weather etc etc the belt still isn't off! It looks like the timing is out as I can't make the exhaust and inlet cam timing ion holes match up (turning engine over by hand) I've read several stories about bent and damaged valves on these engines, anyone know what the compression should be? Mine read 165psi plus on each cylinder with a dieing battery! Fingers crossed this mean no bent valves or is that low?!

165 is not bad really if the timeing is out, i wouldnt expect you to have damaged anythign if its only 2 or 3 teeth out. if there is no matalic noises that is.
