1.9D timing belt snapped

Hi, I am Ryan from Malta and i just bought a 1.9D with snapped timing belt. I just opened the engine and it seems like only one valve slightly hit a piston.

I cannot push the pistond down by hand but i can rotate the crack using a spanner quite easily. Should i open the bottem end?

Thanks

Ryan

Re: 1.9D timing belt snapped

I've had 2 contact valve-piston incidents and my pistons have been just fine with not a mark on them. If you can turn the crank with a spanner it sounds fine. But find out why the belt broke...

Re: 1.9D timing belt snapped

I think that belt broke as it has never been changed for 140000miles.
