timing belt snapped...

[batever]

yea i have a timing light.. i also got a compression tester..

planing on doing this in the morning.. hopefully its not a bent valve...

i gotta get it running atlest decent by tuesday..

im hoping its just a timing problem..

do you know if a leaking waterpump would cause a loss of power?

yes,it could contributing to overheating in the engine. But unless the engine is completely messed up in the lower block, and engine parts are already seized and damaged, that wouldn't be apparent right on startup but only after a few minutes of driving. Check my post two posts back, I added some comments on the end. I don't think the w.p. is the immediate culprit though really you should change it asap if it's leaking.

Oil pressure test might be worth doing if you happen to have the tester.

good luck with the car.

no problem at all, happy to help with whatever I know..

since you have a timing light and compression tester and such I'm assuming you know how to jumper the service connector and to check the timing at warmed up idle, around 700rpms (although to tell the truth I don't see why the rpms make a difference, just the service connector) but I wanted to mention it.

good luck with it!

I was under the impression that cb's had non interferance engins, as an it's impossible to bend valves, because the pistons never travel up far enough to strike the valves

with the valve open all the way, it travels past the deck. it definitely comes close./
