[QUOTE="FFPK751, post: 28571, member: 222"] Answer to above questions. The bobcat has a little over 2k hours. Motor ran well, no smoke except when cold for a few seconds. Starts easy except when temp is in 30's. Then two cycles of the glow plugs and it starts good. From what I understand this is fairly typical of the Peugeot motor. Head has been pulled and dropped off at local shop. The eval result is I only need one exhaust valve and a new cam shaft that cracked in half. The cam journals were not damaged. I will also be replacing the copper seals and flame tubes for injectors, valve seals, head gasket etc. I feel pretty lucky at this point since I don't have to purchase a new head. There wasn't as much damage as one might think there could have been. The only thing I can think of is that the motor wasn't actually running when the belt broke. I was just trying to start it after it had sat for several months and the belt snapped so the motor wasn't turning at high revolutions. Tazza, you state I should do the idlers. What do you mean? Is there something I should look for? I have spun one of the idlers for the timing belt and it spins smooth and continues to spin after giving it a little twist. FYI to other Peugeot owners.

Mine was the original (you can tell if says Dayco on it). $90 and a day of putzing would have saved me at this time, an estimated $700 to $800. [/QUOTE]
