how much is this 97 gsr integra worth? is it worth keeping? cam froze
my friends 1997 gsr just died on him. I took the valve cover off and the exhaust cam looks to have been frozen and the TB obviously jumped because of it. Is this worth fixing or just sell the car as-is to someone. Its a clean shell, white all stock. Had a oil leak on the engine from what i was told, think that is why the cam seized due to oil starvation. has 130k on it.

The camshaft froze? I have never seen this happen.. I would think that if the cam was to sieze up, it's going to break the timing belt, or at least strip the teeth off.
Try manually turning the motor over from the crank pulley (19mm socket) and turn counter clockwise to see if the rotating assembly is still good.
If you decide on parting out or selling, sell me the cam caps.

yea the cam you can see created a lot of heat twoards the gear, it even melted the plastic timing cover on the inside. the belt didnt snap, it just jumped over the gears.
What is a good price to offer my friend for this car? he is not sure he wants to spend the $ to fix. I dont want to low ball him.
