I RECENTLY HAD A MAJOR SERVICE DONE ON MY CAR AND A NEW CAMBELT WAS FITTED. THE TIMING ON MY VECHILE WAS NOT RITE SO I TOOK MY CAR TO A DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT A PIRATE CAMBELT WAS FITTED ON MY CAR AND BECAUSE OF THAT THEY CANT SET THE CARS TIMING AND THE CAUSE FOR THAT IS THAT THERE IS VALVES BENDED DUE TO THE PIRATE CAMBELT. COULD IT BE POSSIBLE AND HOW COULD I DRIVE 500 KM WITH BLOWN VALVES ? THE PIRATE CAMBELT WAS FITTED WITHOUT ME KNOWING ABOUT IT. MY CAR WAS COMPLETLY MOVABLE WHEN I LEFT IT WITH THE DEALER. IS THIS POSSIBLE FOR A CAR TO DRIVE THAT FAR WITH VALVES THAT ARE BENDED OR BLOWN?
