240 DL 1988 wagon popped and cut off

Hello all,
I have a problem. My 240DL 1988 was doing 55 then suddenly the oil light came on and a small pop and it cut off no smoke. I coasted to the side of the road and checked the oil and it was a half a quart low. Not enough IMHO to blow the engine plus the pop wasnt that big. I won't start but it tries to turn over. Any ideas?

Welcome to Matthew's Volvo Site.

Timing belt?

Bill.

Dear Bill,
Yep you were right. Timing belt snapped in half. Thank you for your help.
Now I cant get the drive belts reinstalled.
