Wow, that's the second one of those on here in the past week or two. Sorry to hear the unfortunate news.

At least it's in your hands where you'll be able to fix it. As I recall this was for sale at a used car dealer? Hate to imagine what its next fate would be if this had happened to someone who just bought it as a commuter....

Pull the cam and check for lifter damage; since it happened at low engine speed and the cam breaking acts as a safety valve of sorts, you might get lucky and get away with minimal damage.

Anyone who has been running on a belt of unknown age or unknown installation method should be taking heed now, before this turns into a full-scale epidemic...!
