hi all i did have a thread saying disaster but i cant find it nomore
basically my 1.2 8v was ticking then got told by a mechanic to put engine flush in...done this then 5 mile down the road the cambelt snapped
after stripping the engine down found out the crankshaft is seized 
heres a few pics of my engine in bits
and heres the noise it was making before it snapped,obviously the belt hittign off the case,not the cams at all

Is it out of gear? Water in chamber will be from when you took the head off.

You could get another one of those engines for free, nobody wants them and people have trouble giving them away.

I told you it was the cambelt making the noise
If it's the camshaft which has seized, get a new head, or have the head rebuilt.

Mark, put a post up on here in the classifieds, on Novaload.net (that's probably the best bet) and MIGweb, that'll be better than sitting waiting for one to turn up on Ebay
