Ae92 Cambelt Snapped

Have picked up an AE92 on an H plate last week, and snapped the cam belt yesterday, am having a nightmare!!!!

Should not be a huge problem. Get a new timing belt fitted and you should be good to go. The 4A-GE engine was designed as a "non-interference"engine i.e the valve do not hit the pistons if the belt breaks.

Yeah snapped one before on my C plate ae82, was ready for a rebuild last time but luckily someone told me about it then, new belt and I was away, just hoping this one is the same. Still a nightmare tho, big hands v's small space / bolts!!

Still better than having to rebuild the motor

Just to say, after hours of agro with the pulley, the belt is back on and the corolla lives on thru another snapped belt. Got to give respect to non-interferance 4A-GE engines.
