Quick question if a timing belt snaps in legnum whats the odds of the valves bending? Ive asked 2 people already and they both said that valves on mitsubishis usually will bend

Yeah pretty sure they will hit valves . But depending on conditions when it snapped u may be lucky, but I wouldn't get ur hopes up.

Yeah thats what my mate said 95% of the time the valves will bend on a mitsubishi. ...so in other words buy a new motor cheaper then doing the heads and timing belt

Yeah, although I remember reading a post from one lucky bastard on here that was able to just replace the belt and no damage was done

Dream on for 4 hours.... 800 gets you a complete genuine set with everything.... It's not a bad price, labour is usually around 700-900 ish. So 1500 to 1700 all up depending where you go etc for a genuine everything set.
