Timing belt stipped
I am concerned on the condition of the camshaft, if it it is damaged.
Timing belt 'A' was stripped from a 1.8L engine, 1993 Eagle Talon DL.
The overhead camshaft sprocket cannot be manually rotated, the timing belt 'A' has been removed, timing belt 'B' is undamaged.
The temperture for three days was below freezing, an average of about 20 degrees. The engine was started and ran for about 3 minutes at this temperture and then died, Timing belt 'A' was stipped, antifreeze was at a ratio of about 20% vrs water. I would like to know how to determine the condition of camshaft and any other parts that may be of concern, prior to installing a new timing belt.

About the easiest way, is to put all belts back on properly, and turn engine over before complete re-assembly and check for compression.
I'm not able at this time to confirm that the 1.8L is, or isn't an interference engine, but regardless, you need to do this to see if any damage occurred anyway. Double check your oil pump sprocket & silent shaft timing. It can be 180 degrees out & still run, but engine may have a vibration when running.
