im so lucky

i was driving on my way to work today, so im in traffic so my idel'ed dropped down to 600rpms. so im waiting in traffic and i hear a snap then my car started to shake a little bit. so i turned it off and pushed my car to the side of the road, i popped off the top timing cover and seen that i had a chunk of my timing belt was missing but it wasnt fully snapped. So i called up my dad and towed it home i took the bottom belt cover off and i seen that i snapped my B/S belt so i was like well i must of skipped timing, so i put on the new belt thinking well i prolly have some bent vavles. NO everything was fine, i think i lucked out due to i wasnt tacking high and i was only at 600rpms sitting still.

Tits :thumbsup:

Your lucky it didn't get wrapped around your timing belt and skip timing a few teeth like it usually does to everyone else. Its more than likely was because you were only at an idle like you said. Time for a balance shaft removal kit. lol

My friend was driving his 98 eclipse down the highway doing 75 MpH and his Timing belt snapped and everything was in perfect timing it still ruined the heads.It costed 2500 to get the engine re-done..poor guy
