Cambelt has just snapped again

I'm not claiming it won't have bent valves but rather than whipping the head off to check a belt at about a tenner would be worth it to me

58k, apparently the belt had been done

fortunately got away with 16 new valves, no piston damage etc. Still cost best part of £400 for parts.
