Thank god for non-interference engines.
I assume it was either an A. defective belt or B. not installed properly, as it only had 25,000 miles on it. You guys think I should take it back to the mechanic that did it and demand he fix it for free? That would present a towing issue, granted, as he's an hour away; whereas there's another shop at the bottom of my block that I could literally push the car to. At least I know why my car is not starting now. |

Well you can change the belt and have them do a compression test, if you fail the compression test you probably have some sort of valve damage. Even though the valves should clear the cylinders, doesnt mean there isnt other damage. But before you go ahead and crack the head open replace the belt and do a compression test.
