Re: cambelt failure
OK will do. Need to get hold of a compression tester now. Thanks for the replies, will update as and when.
Someone mention laning? Just tell me when and where!
Re: cambelt failure
If you havent got one, and its all timed back up on the belt, you could just try and start it. if its got low compression on one or more cylinders then it become apparant as they engine will appear to misfire like its got a lead off. You have nothing to loose really, you are highly unlikely to do any more damage than would already be done.

Re: cambelt failure
Had a good go at the truck today, working under a fishing brolly over the engine bay
 . Rocker cover off and rotated cam shaft, all looked Ok. Rotated crank with spark plugs removed also felt OK. So on with an old cambelt and water pump off my donor truck and she fired up straight away no problems  Ordered a new cam belt kit off ebay so will swap it all over and take her for a spin. Will flush the rad before the new coolant goes in an' all. So fingers crossed I've got away with it. Time will tell but feeling a bit happier now. Thanks for all the help and advice can always rely on good old FOG  Someone mention laning? Just tell me when and where!

Re: cambelt failure
Good news matey, well done.
This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been
Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered )Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you.... 'O-no' the truck. Comments on 'O-no' the truck may be left here Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you....
