[Vwdiesel] Broken belts... and boycotts

[Gary, Orlando]

Mark,
Broken belts will cause...

-Not belt valves, but broken valves. With corresponding bouncing of
these pieces within the cylinder(buggered piston tops and head surfaces)

-Broken camshaft

-Holed pistons(see above)

-Bent rods

I'm sure there is more damage elsewhere.

However, I've read stories of those who escaped ANY damage!  You won't
really know until you take it apart.

-Gary
