My timing belt has gone. I had it happen to my '93 talon, and now my
'97 neon. My neon has over 250,000 miles on it (it is hard to pin
point exactly how much, because the odometer only works when the
spedometer works and that is only after you give the dash a couple of
love taps). My question is, Is it really worth fixing the timing belt
knowing the milage and the fact that the last time this happened, it
cracked the motor of my Talon? |

May have possibly done the same thing to your Neon especially if it happened
at highway speeds.

I'm sure that there is a very warm and nasty place in Hell reserved
for the individuals responsible for bringing us the interference
engine designe. Why I loved my old 2.2l in my Daytona, unfortunately
long gone. Also why I ensured prior to purchasing that my 97
Intrepid, 2000 Blazer and 98 Monte Carlo all utilized non-interference
engines... One of the first things I check prior to purchasing a
car...

The extent of the damage won't be known until the head is removed. If
this is the original engine it would not make sense to rebuild just the
head. If you were mechanically inclined you could rebuild the engine
yourself for about the same cost as a used engine. In 2000 I rebuilt a
Dodge 2.2L for about $700. In 2006 I rebuilt a Mitsubishi 2.0L turbo for
about $2200, but that included a few upgrades.

Nothing wrong with interference designs, especially for those who
change the timing belt at the recommended intervals. On the other
hand, if you don't approach preventive maintenance in the proper
fashion, you have to pay the piper. Just as the old Fram commercials
used to say: "You can pay me now, or pay me later." I'd rather pay
now. >> Stay informed about: timing belt problems |

As well as performance. You can eek out a couple more ponies by increasing
the valve timing...
