Whilst driving back from Italy on Saturday (in my Jeep with a 97 Iveco Turbo Daily engine), the cambelt went. I was travelling at about 75mph. Will it definitely have bent the valves? I need to decide whether it is worth taking the engine apart, or just buying another whole engine and putting that in instead. |

Hello, Sorry to hear your story.. If the timing belt breaks, you will 99% end up with bent valves, and you might have to have your cylinder heads rebuilt, but the engine isn't likely to be destroyed. That's is almost 99% case..for the Iveco engine. John |

I don't know which engines this specifically relates too, but either the 2.8 or the newer 2.3 is meant to have sacrificial rockers or something. |

I had mine slip last year, only whilst turning around so the engine just died and wouldn't restart, but luckily got away with it. Hadn't come off or snapped though which I guess may have helped it survive! |

The guy was traveling with 75mph ...99% valves did not survive. ( around 3000rpm ) If he switched of engine immediately, then there is a chance some of the valves not broken / bent. Either way, a cylinder head removal is needed to check valves and rockers. John Edited by yiannism, Mar 1 2017, 07:02 AM.

yianissm is right, not at lot of hope at tick over on the 2.8 engines,but most engines are going to suffer at those revs,head off for sure.Joe |
