Ok so heres what I found after removing the front engine covers:
Timing belt is shredded in half lengthwise....
Waterpump has seized, melted rubber all over it
Right-hand camshaft pulley had lost the outside belt retainer ring from the belt pressing against it, it had popped off.
So I have removed the timing belt and all the associated stuff, and have removed the water pump. Now a couple questions please
I have tapped the outer belt retaining ring back onto the RH cam pulley again, but its not perfectly straight anymore.... Do I need a new pulley/where can I get it, how much?
The smooth idler pulleys have pretty good rolling resistance, but are smooth and silent, so are they still ok??
This is ALL from using Bars-Leaks aluminum flake seal, which I have concluded seized my water pump bearings.... beware.
