All the DOHC EJ engines are interference engines the SOHC engines are non interference iirc and as Adam has so succinctly put it wave bye bye to your engine
Indeed my tensioner had to be replaced and i also got them to check the oil pump as there are screws which hold in a plate and they can become loose causing oil leakage.
cambelt goes engines gone mate. I think it can slip 3 teeth and it'll be alright! anymore and wave goodbye to it
