Lude Generation

The end of my lude Snapped my exhaust cam some how and I'm well depressed is it the end of the Lude if any body knows anything about this plz help I have never heard of a cam snapping it's normally the cam belt

worst case, H22's are cheap to buy and fit..

Has the belt actually come off the gear? You could be lucky, though you're still likely to have a few bent valves. Definitely fixable

I have 2 used complete H22A heads with cams, one off a JDM H22A and the other from my old 80k H22A2 motor for sale if you need one because your head is damaged.

Or a brand new (yes OEM brand new in the plastic) P13 cams for sale. Came with a brand new head I bought and sold on from Australia.(I kept the cams)

This is only any use, if your cam has snapped and your pistons are ok, and you want to fix it up.

We're you in vtec? If not the h22 is a non interference engine, so just line it all back up and put the belt back on, job done!

the cam snapped?!

i once snapped a camshaft in a mk1 astra

Yeah the belt is still on.the cam broke right next to the dizzy and the engine was at top dead centre when this happened so surly the valves where closed and the Lude never run after it snapped tried starting her

valves should be fine

when in vtec the valves start to open 40 degrees before tdc. which is very early and are going to be most likely fully open by the time the pison comes to tdc

have you seen the piston cut outs for the valves...

No I have not. it never started though can you still bend valves
