Hey.
When cruising at medium RPM, the engine suddenly died. When trying to restart, it was obvious that there wasnt compression anymore.
The timing belt seemed alright, but unfortunately the borescope showed that all the exhaust valves hit the pistons. So engine's dead.
Before rebuilding or starting a new engine, what do you think could have happen ?
VVTI / solenoid error that would have cause a bad timing for exhaust valves
Timing belt tensionner that gave up for a moment
Broken crankshaft key
Timing belt slipped
We are going to explore all of these possibilites, but I want to have you feedback on that since we don't want it to happen on the new engine!
Thanks a lot
Pierre
