rebuild costs...
Changed my woodruff key today and spent nearly an hour and a half getting the timing belt all lined up - eventually got it on then was time to test :-S
....now i rotated the crank through two full revolutions of the BELT and all was well, was quite stiff then would slacken off then stiffen up again ETC ETC (assuming the lobes on the cams yeah?) so then came the test..... primed the pump and sat there for 5 minutes absolutely shatting my kegs....double/triple checking that all the timing markers were lined up and they were - turned it over and an almighty BANG blew out the exhaust NOT the engine side.............. but this was enough to scare the shat out of me and ring Gipa with my tail between my legs lol
so best case....i'm a legend, done it right and it was just excess fuel
worst case.... i'm a twit and haven't timed it right
Now the car DIDN'T turn over IE run, literally made this bang out the exhaust and i killed the key.
How much would i be looking at best and worst scenario for a rebuild?? also name companies in the NE that could do this?? (assuming it would just be the heads would need building?)
Got to wait until the Great North Run has finished tomorrow to have Gipa have a spy and start it for real

Have you got plug leads right, a backfire is ok, its clanking and knocking you worry about. Btw the belt goes stiff because of compression more than the lobes.
Ps you know there are 2 sets of timing marks, you use the lines not the triangles

wasn't the belt that got stiff it was definitly the right side cams that felt as though they were on a hill (only way i can describe it, with belt on or off)
Yeah - single lines at 12, doubles at 6 (or 12 for bottom) and single will be 3/9 so long as your doubles are married up?
plug leads?... i didn't remove sparks or coils?

OK - i've taken the belt off again but pulleys haven't been moved...
When i reference these pullies, its asif your stood infront of the car looking at the engine....
Hard to get a picture of the marks on this top-left...looks a TINY bit off
Crank - hard to get a head on picture because i have a DSLR and with the lens it's deep and doesn't fit between the crank & rad

bottom right

Pic 1,3 and 4 are spot on. i can not realy tell from pic 2 where the intake cam is but as long as the cams on the drivers side are in the same position as on the pasanger side in pic 3 and 4 then the hole thing is right. put your belt back on and start it mate
