Consumer Description

A CYLINDER HEAD BOLT SNAPPED, SENDING PART OF THE WASHER INTO THE CAMSHAFT, SEIZING IT AND STRIPPING THE TIMING BELT. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT A HEAD BOLT ON THE OPPOSITE CYLINDER HEAD HAD SNAPPED AT SOME TIME IN THE PAST, BUT CAUSED NO DAMAGE. COST OF REPLACING ALL THE BOLTS AND HEAD GASKETS, AND RE-MACHINING THE CYLINDER HEADS WAS $1643. WE COULD HAVE REPLACED THE CAMSHAFTS BECAUSE THE GUIDE PINS HAD BEEN DAMAGED, BUT THE DEALER ADVISED AGAINST IT BECAUSE THE EXTRA COST WAS OF MARGINAL BENEFIT.
