Today on the way into work the timing belt snapped. It was only a year old and not even 10000 miles on it. The Corrado went home on the flat bed without me. Thank God for AAA+ one call for a tow or roadside assistance and it pays for itself.

Same trouble...this time with the pinned sprocket. Engine's out, crankshaft pulled, back to the machine shop for another crankshaft repair and pin job...this time with two pins. I will make damn sure that the bolt is torqued correctly and plenty of green loctite is used.

Engine pulled and disassembled, preparing to receive polished balanced and knife-edged crank. Supercharger is back from BBM with fresh strips and seals.

The sprocket and keyway on the crankshaft failed the other day. The crank and bolt threads are badly galled. I am going to replace the crank with a used one and put in new bottom end bearings and seals. The engine comes out this weekend.
