Then i decide to strip it down to just leave the old belt on, as i am going to have to renew the lower and top cam cover casing aswell as the belt has gone through and cut it up a little.

At this stage i am trying to get all parts in TDC position so i can put the cam lock in and pump lock in, however on closer inspection and some help from m8, and due to the fact that the belt has jumped and put everything out of alignment, its not possible as when the tdc indicator comes into view through the gearbox, the cams are not in correct position nor is the pump, so i am having to put them in place individually and have fingers crossed that i have done it correctly.
You might ask how this has happened, well firstly i have no history on the cam belt so could be original one on since engine, i have 64K on the clock so should have probably changed it at 60K. I am hoping its the belt that has stretched and cause the jumping of teeth and for the belt to run off and start shredding, my only saving luck is that it didn't snap causing the valves to smash into the piston heads. I will post more pics of the rebuild as i go along if people are interested, as there isn't a lot of info on the KY engine out there. Im taking all my info from the Bentley Manual on the 1.6D which are similar.
