The result of a busted belt

[Slide Panda]

Not mine, fear not. It's just been a question that's asked here now and then, and I've never seen anyone post of photo of the results. A local Duc specialty shop has a head that the valves got loose in due to a busted belt on display. Figured you all might want to see

Here's what happens:

I have seen a pic posted a long time ago on TOB and it wasn't pretty.  The piston and valves were in bad shape.

Well if you're lucky, the engine manages to keep running and you pull off under control.

If you're not - the engine seizes and you poop yourself.

Loud noises which should prompt you to immediately pull in the clutch.
