What's a "run safe engine"?

I suspect by "run safe engine" the OP means that the engine isn't an interference type.

Are you sure the indi is telling you the truth? It's very unusual for the link timing chain to fail. If it has failed, then only the inlet valve train will be damaged, as the exhaust cam is driven by the timing belt directly. It shouldn't cost £2k to repair, but it's good 15 hours work. The valves are about £18 each, you could need 4 to 6, a head gasket set with bolts is under £200 and you might also need some rockers, which are about £10 IIRC, and the chain itself which is about £40. This assumes the timing chain has failed and not the belt due to incorrect fitting. Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate. The family car. 2009 Rimini Red SE TD4. Gone. 2006 Tonga Green i6 HSE. Gone.

May be they looked at the job and thought don’t fancy doing that so price it at over 2 grand in hope they don’t want it done, in the event that they do it’s a decent earner |

Nice one nod for the advise i know when they changed the cam belt he also changed the sprocket because he said it was chipped so my thinking was that he over tensioned the cam belt what was making me think the cam belt had gone but there claiming the cam belt is fine so until i get down there and see some evidence i can only go by what there saying. Thanks again for the response |

I'd be unlikely for the belt pulley to be damaged in use. The upper pulley is made of sintered iron, which is very resistant to wear but can be chipped and damaged if dropped or treated roughly.

You can't really over tension the cam belt either. The tensioner is spring loaded and applies, presumably the correct, force against the belt. Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948
