'87 240 Timing Belt Broke-More questions 200 1987

posted by  someone claiming to be Rhys on  Sun Dec 14 05:39 CST 2003 [RELATED]

If the bearings are scored slightly, as pointed out in the previous posts, you have a lack of oil feed to the head. A new belt won't fix that. The plug in the oil system normally occurs in the head gasket between the oil drilling in the block and the number two exhaust side headbolt. You should remove the head and replace the gasket, and spin the intermediate shaft to confirm oil flow. Then remove the cam, and the plugs on the rifle drilling in the head and confirm they are clear. With a new gasket, the head will then get the oil it needs, and nothing more needs to be done (except change the oil regularly).
