1977 924, interference engine?
My nephew got a rough 924, for $100 from a friend. It ran rough, so he started trying to fix "things". He took the timing belt off, I don't know why, something about getting to a thermostat. He claims he followed the manual (Haynes maybe) when taking the belt off and putting it on, and it did crank OK once he put it back on, but wouldn't fire up, so he redid the belt few times, God only knows what he was altering each time, and now it won't even crank even though battery is fine. If it is an interference engine, how much damage could he have done to the valves, just by cranking it with the battery? He didn't hear any large crashing sounds like I guess you would if the belt broke while driving. ....Kids.
Thanks
