cambelt snapped

[packers]

Hi cambelt  stripped several teeth resulting in bent valves and dents in top of pistons question is can i get away with just changing
head as there is no damage to bores. any input appreciated .

Depends on the amount of damage to the piston faces. Small scratchs and chips can be sanded smooth (burs will cause pre det) too big gouges will reduce strength of the piston.

Also check for bore damage in the block if a valve has been dropped it common.

Head could be ok to still use again depends on the damage but head are cheap and easy to find.

Got a set of standard pistons you can have for 40, but this happened to mine and I got away with just changing the inlet valves!
