Even the ether you fed it refused to start it, you may not have given it enough of a snort of it.A general look at the belt won't tell you a great deal, you really need to have it off and bend it back wards and see what it looks like. Some can look fine on the outside and even the inside until you twist it back wards to stress it, then can see the cracks. I still think it should be changed soon, better safe than sorry.As for valve interference, i believe most if not all diesel engines are. You need the valves to sit as close to the pistons as possible to generate enough compression. If they were recessed more, the compression would just not be there.I hope the problem is not sorted out though!</blockquote>
