    Thread moved.

    It has also been posted before, but that was in a subscribed forum, so no thread-merge on this one.

    Yikes, as a professional tech this scares the s*** out of me. I had a customer who was a butcher and he had the tip of one finger missing. I assumed that he lost it while cutting meat but no he lost it doing exactly what this guy did in the video.

    I bent a set of valves on an x1/9 when axle hit fan belt that then got under timing belt at crank.
    A haul home and few mutters. Pull head change valves--at least pistons were ok.

    Nice. You just have to be fast enough to get the new one on before the valves and pistons crash into each other.

    it would be freaking hilarious for the mechanic to say the belt change is 250 dollars then change it right in front of the owner hidden camera style. LOL

    probably a tad more tricky with a serpentine belt.

    PAPmeister, feel free to chime in ;)
