Bit of a fair update. I got the aux pulley off by using a prybar to lock the flywheel, and a big breaker bar. The exhaust studs came off, just needed. 13mm spanner on the other side of it closest to the head.
I've come to the conclusion my cambelt only slipped a few teeth as the valves aren't bent. The reason the inlet cam pulley snapped was the last time someone took the cam cover off, there was a bolt that hadn't been tightened up properly, and this got caught by the inlet cam pulley, shattered that and the bolt fell in amongst the belt. It's side of the cam cover that's bolted to the block.
Anyway, pulled the head off complete with the exhaust manifold, had a look at the valves and they're not bent
They haven't even come in contact with the pistons!
I need to buy a new head gasket, inlet manifold gasket, throttle body gasket, more fluids and a new cam pulley then bolt it back together, retime it and hope for the best.
Here's a few photos from today:
Brings me to my next question, does anyone have an inlet cam pulley that I can buy off them? It's the 3 bolt type.
