Head problems

[radek at istar.ca]

Chuck.

I happen to have a 93 Eurovan with a supposedly non-interference engine that has a bent
valve after 
the timing belt broke.  Waiting for weather to get warmer before I start to fix it.  Check
the Eurovan 
users group (ev_updateyahoogroups.com and 93eurovans at yahoogroups.com), this subject has
been 
discussed there many times.  Get it fixed right, the van is a great vehicle.  Good luck.
