Yea different compression ratio all sorts of stuff. Crankshaft t belt pulley(for wider S belt), rollers, cover, DME, just buy an S engine it would be easier.
Lindsey Racing does a port job on the 8V head that would help you go faster. Looks like you will be doing head work anyway, send it to them.

16v head to 8v is not an option.

Even having a belt break when the car is at an idle will bend the valves before the engine stops rotating.
That's why I asked him that.

The damage was already done. Having him report the obvious is post facto.

Yeah, figured that out last night. Slipping belt won't turn the camshaft anyway.

While the recent failure reported didn't strip the teeth off of the cams, most failures do. So not only is the head damaged from the tensioner breaking off or valves being bent into the valve seats; the cams have to be replaced too.
Worse case I've seen in the last two years was a valve head breaking off and taking out the piston and block too.

Toxic, i had the exact same symptoms happen to me...and it turned out to be a stripped timing belt around the lower pulley. Balance shaft belt turns fine. You will have to pull the T cover to see where the teeth are stripped at, but that is probably going to be where. Mine didnt snap either. Just stalled out at a stop sign, belt replaced about 10k ago....wasnt tensioned correctly i dont think.
