Did you have the cams out?

If you did - did you make sure the cams could turn in the bearings by hand a bit each way reasonably easy(without belt on and hitting valves on pistons)

If the cam was binding up and the belt wont snap cause its good somethings gotta give!

Sorry to hear about it and hope you resolve it without too much expense!

sucks to be the people who said i f**ked it

heads fine as is the bottom end

no chips or cracks in the valves from what i can see

chill out mate. In many cases it does. Internet diag. is a hit and miss affair and they are only giving advice.

.

No belt should whir loud enough to hear it from inside the car driving, if yours does this it is TO TIGHT!!!!!

Sorry bout the failure you have there but diagnosing it from the internet is going to be really difficult. It could be anything from losing oil from front cam bearing which in turn snapped the camshaft, could be belt to tight, or as mentioned bolts could have been lose casue a slack that impacted a brittle part and snapped it.

Keep us all posted with pics, and what you find this is the first ever casue I have seen that isnt immediately obvious, and breaking this at all is pretty rare. Good luck pulling it down they are a bastard you need Japanese school girl hands, i swear nissan had midgets putting together GTR's.

    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
