You must b right,bent valves.Bringing the car to my house tommorrow,althou its nice to use a lift my friends shop is to far away.Im first going to pull the intake to check the back valves,bcuz the front ones seem to b working perfectly.So hopefully the problem is in the back with a valve,bcuz id b pissed if its still the timeing.But u have to b right the belt must have jumped and bent some valves.Ive worked on lots of other cars but never a dodge stealth so theres a first time for everything.Any pointers anyone can give me on pulling the heads will b apprieciated,and if i remember right never worked on a dohc motor,but have been doing macanic work for 12 r so years.So if you no i way to make this easier any pointers only a stealth owner would know please tell me.thank you for ur time

Short of a factory service manuel, nearly all of the information you might need is on Stealth316.com. I've read that it's just the intake valves that get hit when it jumps time.

Well took the heads off 12 bent intake valves.No exost valves bent.Pistons r fine exept for some pings,but no major damage.As far as i can see the valves seats look fine 2.And takeing it all apart wasnt as bad as i thought,so now ill start looking for valves,anyone have some used let me know.thanks for the good luck it worked a little.
