Cam chain broke .. replace .. not starting !

nmatrix

I have 51 plate vectra 2.2 112k , and aprox. 4 weeks ago chain tensioner has broken and chain has slipped, taken car to first mechanic replace tensioneer and car still not running , went to 2nd mechanic replace whole cam chain kit + 8 inlet valves wore broken and gasket, put everythink back togheter . Car tryes to start but like just when to start it won't. Taken car to 3rd mechanic , he put car on computer and got no errors, then tryed to crank it and a huge blow and smoke coming out. He sayed timing is wrong.. is that true? Because if so i need take car back to 2nd mechanic. I'm getting tired of this, is there any good z22se mechanic in LONDON AREA that might be able to help ? Please leave me a PM or contact me at 07565623405 ! Or advices what else could be wrong because so far the bill is 400quid. thank you

my bill was £1200 and mine didn't even break. lol

1200, my car not even worth that much 🙂, i would have set fire to it rather then pay 1200. Anyway i asked 5th mechanic and sayed timing is wrong. Hopefully will get it fixed this time. I will even print out instruction for them how to do the timing.

I think gonna try put it up for sale to see if anybody interested and maybe can recover some of my loss because just don't have the time and energy to deal with it
