I would also strongly suggest purchasing either a Haynes or Chilton Manual, available at most auto parts stores. It has specific information you will need incuding the Torque Specifications for each and every Bolt and Nut you will be removing. Cost is $20-$25 fo the manuals.

Check your timming belt.Sounds like its jumped a tooth.Get back to me thanks phil.

I use a paint marker to mark the belt and gears. then when I have the belt off I transfer the marks to the new belt. That way there is no mistake and getting it off one tooth. And you dont have to worry about trying to line up marks on the cases and head. Just make sure you know which mark is the one for the cam and which direction the belt is facing.(put an arrow for the direction of rotation).
Also replace the waterpump and the tensioner pully while you are in there.(saves you from doing it again if one of those go out)
Hope this helps

Your timming belt has jumped a tooth.Remove the covers and check that all teeth are ok.Then tighten or change the timming belt.I would fit a new timming belt.Has it is costly when they fail.Good luck.pippall.

it could be a piston broke or an oil ring

Boy, you will get several different answers on this one. You manual will give you that info, but from my experience I would not go over 70,000. Ive seen them break at 40,000 and Ive see them still running at well over 100,000. So take your pick. I say 70.

easyiest way to do that is to go to your local library and look up you torque specs and sequence for your car.
