Bad Tapping! GTI6

[craig306]

tonight I got bored so stripped the sad engine

timing pinned up OK although the timing belt was a little slack, started to inspect the pulleys and belt and found this on the inlet pulley.........



once I took the pulley off and undone the bolts the cracked centre fell out!



took head off head looked good no obvious marks on the valves or pistons



took the bottom end off no obvious picked up or spun bearings

not looked at the block yet

so now where?
would a slack belt or damage pulley cause that much noise?
i guess ive got to get the journals sized
and get the valves out the head and spin them up to see if any are bent

put the plugs back in,. when fill up the expansion chamber up with water. but looking at them they dont look bent. show me a pic of the piston in the block.
