You have very logic and clear mind...., I do appreciate that and your help so far.
Now, in my mind, if the belt has jumpped this would had not altered the fixed relation between the first piston in top position and the matching of mark on the crank shaft sprocket lined against the TDC or TOC notch on the reference ruller. It is just pure consideration of logic - would you agree?
It might pay to consider sequence of events leading to the breakdown. Consider, in the first place my son took the car to tow a heavy loaded trailer and the car stalled on the road (never done this before). He restarted it however after few minutes and brought the staff home. Next day he took the car to work and all was OK. The break down occured the following day on travel without a load.
With this, I suspect the temperature (overheating) could be a factor.
OK, before taking the rocker cover off I will look at the sprocket key.
Probably in few days time.
Cheers
Thank you Wayne
