My fiat Uno 1.7 Diesel broke its timing belt during idling (at 45,000 Kms). I was in 1st Gear trying to park the vehicle when this happened. The engine stalled and would not start when cranked for 2 secs. Immediately i realized that its a timing belt failture.
After installing new belt I cranked the engine but it wont start. Is it a free wheeling engine or have i snapped / twisted a valve or two. I opened the valve cover and turned the engine and two exhaust valves i-e of 1st cylinder and the 2nd come out with a snap once the cam lobe has passed over em. Could it be sticking valves or bent valves? Besides this i dont hear any un usual sound when turning. Please HELP!
Do i need to overhaul the engine head? If possible please email me head over hauling section of repair manual for my model at [email protected] / [email protected]
In your view what other things should i check and notice.
