Post by john80 »

My timeing belt had broke on my 2000 daewoo laganza so i went out and got a new belt then i found out that i had bent my valves so then i just went out and got a used head. But what i want to know is there any good valves out there for my car that would make good power if any one know of any please let me know.

That sucks ... sorry to hear. :(

If the valves are bent, then they hit the tops of the pistons.

Your engine may have more damage than you realize.

The connecting rods between the crank shaft and the pistons may be bent or cracked (possibly broken, but unlikely) and the pisonts themselves may even have some damage.
Worst case, the crankshaft could possibly have been bent, but this is not likely.

It may be a good idea to have a trustworthy mechanic check the engine for you before you put a repaired head back on a damaged engine.
