Replying to: dntlss (Sep 01, 2008 12:26 pm) I couldn't be the one to break the news what was behind behind door number three, now you know.   These engines are in abundants at junkyards, well maybe wait a few more years. I see alot of 93's and earlier models. The model year 2000s Kia's and Hyunda's are starting to show up. Replies to this message: dntlss (Sep 03, 2008 3:50 pm) Mr_Shiftright (Sep 04, 2008 7:04 am)

Darn thats too bad about the engine and rachet.   This was my second experience with a locked engine in last six months and these were the first in my long career.   Well see it in the junkyard.

Replying to: sanctify4 (Sep 03, 2008 10:30 am) I guess you really have no evidence other than the seller's word that the timing belt was changed at 78K miles. No receipts right? There's no way to tell by looking whether a belt was changed recently or not -- usually when it's time to replace them, the old belt LOOKS fine.   So if I were you, I'd bite the bullet and have the belt changed in the near future. A leaking valve cover gasket is not that big a deal, unless a lot of oil is being lost. It can wait for a while.   As for good independent mechanics, it's been too long since I lived in the DC area, so I'd suggest asking friends, relatives, and co-workers for recommendations. Also, does that magazine called "Checkbook" still exist there? It was sort of like Consumer Reports for the DC area and rated service providers like auto mechanics, home remodelers, etc.

Replying to: dntlss (Sep 03, 2008 3:50 pm) Oh well, did we fail to tell you that you NEVER use a cheater bar with a ratchet, only a breaker bar + socket? Sorry.

Replying to: rqu (Oct 18, 2008 3:46 pm) True, it has a timing chain. Maybe just replace the serpentine belt (probably $100).
