check your timing.

Still could be the timing belt. Make sure all the marks are lined up and the belt isn't missing teeth.

Since when did you have a DSM? Lemme see it, I'm still trying to see how a few pieces in the engine bay comes together.

I have a 90' talon tsi awd

[DrifterExtreme]

well john and troy were right the timing belt is missing tons of teeth. The thing is i have no idea what caused this to happen as iwas just going into second from first and then boom t-belt acts up. so i wonder how bad the bottom end is and head.... well i will post later tonight when i pull the head...

[treimche]

Bottom end will be fine, just look at the pistons when you get the head off. There will be little dings in them, but don't worry about that. If one is cracked or broken then you have issues. Just get the valves replaced and a new belt and HG, and you're good to go.

I can tell you exactly why it broke like that............ it's a DSM! That's what they do.

LOL. I never had a timing belt f-up on mine..

Belt probably wasn't tensioned correctly or your tensioner went bad. When you were changing speeds of the engine, the belt probably got some slack and jumped/skipped/ripped itself apart.
