Timing belt question! SVT/BT

[quad_throttle]

Bro's and gurus,

Recently i read with interest in one of the 4AGE info page on the net, something like ".....if you break the cam belt, it won't affect your in/ex valves int SVT/BT head...". Does these mean that it doesn't give fatal result as most of other cars do? Meaning if you break them.....just change the belt....straightaway you can drive??? Anybody experienced it b4.....timekaseh....

My experience during the last CNY, timing belt snapped prematurely at Jertih (small town in Terengganu) .Wait 2 days for the belt (cuti CNY) and install . Head back to Paka , terengganu(200km jpourney) . Till now is still ok.
Actually my belt snapped due to tensioner bearing tilted due to the mounting point of the bearing senget - due to poor re fabrication of the bearing mounting (bad engine conversion) .

yes...just change the belt n drive. but usually when doing timing belt change also change the tensioner, seals coz hard to access those area .also inspect water pump area for abnormal condition.
