Maybe design a starter that when it eventually fails will take out the transmission? Wait....didn’t ford make an engine that freezes the spark plugs in place? That’s a good one too! 9 hours ago, Crotch Lickmeoff said: Last week blew the timing belt on my rio. Of course it took an intake and exhaust valve , so had to pull head and get that done . Who fucking designs this shit ? I procrastinated on the last Interference engine I had (and will ever have) and by the time I got to it this is what was there. It could have gone at any minute. I just laughed at what had to be the perfect mixture of laziness and luck after I opened it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it breaks, it leaves the valves where they sit in the cylinder while the crank still moves the pistons. Bend-O-Rama! Dumb fucking idea to have a rubber belt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
