!help! Is200 Wont Start !

Paradroid · October 30, 2008

Dee, glad your car is sorted now mate :)

My car is getting close to 60k, it's just over 4 yrs old. I was going to leave it till 70k till doing the cambelt, based on the fact that it used to be 100k so down to 60k might a bit conservative.

But after reading this I don't think I'll risk it.

WOW, theres alot of **** being spouted in this topic.
it will do no harm, on getting the timing set back to the correct marks , and putting a new belt on.

this will cause no more damage than "could have been caused" so far.

otherwise you take the risk of stripping the head off to look at a perfect head............. trust me, it has no damage!

when i ran my garage/workshop in Germany, if a customer brought a car in for a snapped belt, the first task, was to check with a belt on.

on most of the engines there was no damage and the cost was only the change of the belt and pulleys.

the is200 engine is non-interference so you should have no Valve / piston strike what so ever

THE 1GFE ENGINE WILL BEND VALVES AND SORRY BUB BUT THEY ARE MAD MONEY FOR the valves

no if you read it his cambelt snapped

crazy-dee · November 7, 2008

it was the cambelt. Which snaped. Not sure why it had snaped though.because it hadnt been long since it was done.

Just assumed I had a bad alternator so I changed it as my car started and eventually the engine slowed down to the point I had to turn it off(this is with the alternator I replaced from.the old one)now it won't turn over or crank and the air-conditioning lights are flickering and dash lights come on as usual,just an electrical sound coming from the engine when I try to start help would be so much appreciated
