:x wow my stupid ass... i posted a thread a few days ago about my problem.. my car popped loudly and came to a slow stop.. i figured it was the timeing belt... well i proceeded to take head off get head checked and valves done.. so at this point i got 53.99 on head gaskit.. plus 62.99 for belt and a few odds and end and you wouldnt believe i got it back together and it did the exact same thing... i took the dizzy cap off and the rotor screw came out....... haha my stupid ass did all that work for nothing.. but w.e its 2 less major problems to deal with for now..

So you had a problem..fixed it...than it happen again? Than you check and the rotor screw just came out?

So a lose rotor screw cuased the belt to snap again?

i had the same thing happen to me about 6 different times. never broke my belt but everytime i knew exactly what it was each time it did it. no matter how tight i got it. ended up replacing the rotor button 3 times then just decided to run loc tite in it to stop it from coming out.

If the timing belt snapped, I don't think it was caused by a screw in the distributor.. if that's what you're saying.
I'm not even sure how that would be possible?

Anyways.. it's always good to get a little maintenance in. Head work and a gasket will just make it last that much longer.

hes talking about the screw that in the distributor that holds the rotor button on. if it pops out it throws the car out of time so bad its ridiculous.the rotor button will keep turning with the dizzy but will be going a whole lot slower than the dizzy shaft is. its possible he would break the belt
