head be damaged?  I've heard this can't happen to the Audi head. I also hear
valve damage can occur to any head. I do not know what else to do but perform
a compression test.   I have performed most of the work on this car myself and
don't want to pay a mechanic(dealer or not) to diagnose it. Do you have any
ideas?  Maybe the list can help?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Dan, hello. My name is Tony and I read the list archives when I have time.  My
problem.  My timing belt broke about a week ago and just yesterday I've
managed to get a new one on.  Flywheel is at zero, intermediate shaft mark is
aligned with crankshaft pulley mark, and camshaft sproket timing mark is at
the valve cover. The distributor rotor is aligned with the mark on the
housing.  Can the head be damaged?  I've heard this can't happen to the Audi
head. I also hear valve damage can occur to any head. I do not know what else
to do but perform a compression test.   I have performed most of the work on
this car myself and don't want to pay a mechanic(dealer or not) to diagnose
it. Do you have any ideas?  Maybe the list can help?  Any help would be
greatly appreciated.
