Advise on 2.5 wl turbo engine

Postby Track » December 16th, 2018, 11:25 am

Hey guys I have a 2010 bt 50 with the wl engine. Last Friday on the highway the engine just cut off an will not start. When I open the tapit cover all the rocker arms are broken. The timing belt did not fail. The mechanic told me that the pin that this hold the cam pully in place cut and caused the pully to spin on the cam shafts and the engine timing went off. Any one experience this before and it make sense trying to rebuild the engine or go foreign used. I am getting a foreign head and block for 12 000.
The van buy new from southern s. and is doing 230 000.

Get a good mechanic to do a rebuild with good Japanese parts, you'll know what you have, buying a foreign used head and block is risky. ....

Buy a foreign used head and block. Rebuilding engines is a skill most mechanics don't have. It is really hit or miss....
