2.7 V6 came out n/a and turbo, both were pieces of shit. I haven't seen 4 cylinder engines in Legends before.

Lets hope the oil pumps not driven off the camshaft.

If the oil pump is driven off the camshaft & when the belt broke, the driver kept turning the engine over. The engine runs out of oil & seizes.
A mate had it happen on his 80's Honda.

I highly doubt that would happen, as there's enough oil in the crank bearings to provide boundary lubrication. Unless, someone keeps winding the engine over for 2 hours non stop.

I don't think they have enough clearance, you'll likely have bent valves.

Nah, it did seize, he did keep turning it over but stopped when he relised it wasn't going to start.
I can't actually remember what part did seize.
The mech who replaced the cambelt said it was "50/50 if the engine was still any good any more".

Yes there would have to be some fair cranking befor the engine would run out of lubrication. I think the battery would give up first.
