Hi Mr FFF

not sure about the contact / damage bit..

but re changing

the best way i found was

remove rad

remove fan/ shroud
remove alternator belts
remove timing covers
back off cam tensioner
remove bottom pully

line all up again use a haines or timing guide

make sure you time correctly, not 180 degrees out!!

fit belt,

turn over by hand to ensue correct fitting timing etc

if at any stage engine stops turning over investigate

if all ok refit removed parts


for future reference

replacement criteria of cambelt

4 years or 48000 miles whichever is sooner


there is a previous post on this issue if you delve around
