GUTTED!!!!

What started off as a simple cambelt change my dad has ended up bending a valve

He couldnt get the bottom pully off to time it up and by him cutting the corner on it its now fucked.I'm gutted as i've only had the car 3 weeks

More money needs spending now and the car in bits again.....

He couldnt get the bottom pulley off so decided to fit the belt without looking at the bottom timing and turned the key

Should have marked it all up before you took the old belt off mate.

You wouldn't have even had to bother taking the pulley off then.

Hope you sort it though.
