In my experience if the crank had snapped it wouldn't turn the cams as the drive from the starter motor is on the gearbox end of the crank and the belt to drive the cams is on the crankshaft/front of the engine I guess I'm just hoping it's not the dreaded crank saga! I've got an s type Jag with a good engine in ready if needed but I really can't be dealing with the swap
Hi
Been thinking about this and indeed agree, wondering if the drivers side camshaft chain has snapped , as it sits near the firewall , locked , twisting and snapping the camshaft , causing the back half of the cam to stop but as u turn the engine over the front timing belt is still turning the camshaft sprocket and front half of the snapped camshaft ???
But indeed won’t know 100% until the rocker cover comes off
Thks for listening
