Should I even bother fixing it heard its kinda annoying and I was probably gonna get a shop to do it. I was thinking about a swap anyway so which would be cheaper..the water pump got messed up to

 

Depends on how much damage was done, if there's a lot of damage and your valves are bent then you'll need a head job. Also keep in mind you will also need the head milled to put the new headgasket on, new coolant, new oil/filter, new timing belt kit, new gasket kit, and shop time to store your car while the machine shop has your head. I got lucky and none of my valves were bent, didn't need a head job, just milled the head, bought all the parts I needed, did all the work myself and it still cost me $400-600. If you're looking at a new valvetrain and having a shop doing it, I'm guessing it would be cheaper to go with a swap. I think the book time for a head gasket alone is 7 hours, so $65 an hour+machine work = not cheap.

 

Lol dam it does sound like a expensive *** thing a swap would probably be easier but I'm still thinking my engine had mad miles on it anyway

 

i did mine myself for the first time about 3 years ago. belt snapped but i was lucky also and it didnt expletive up my head. i bought a new belt and hasnt messed up since

 

i dont think anything from head cause i turned my car on it was on for like 5 seconds then just stopped. it was marking my battery so i was like huh? then today my dad said it snapped so i dunno i think a swap would be better

 

i checked it only thing thats messed up is the belt somehow lol im just thinking whats the best way out since my current engine already has about 210k miles

 

what kinda motor is in there?

 

stock 94 dx motor i dunno to much about motors yet so i cant really tell you exactly lol so its a b16 i guess.

 

i was gonna do mine but i could not get loose the crank pulley bolt.

 

Umm you dont need to remove the crank pulley bolt to do a timing belt.

 

its stressful but ima just see if i can swap it my dam engine has miles out its ***

its not a b16

get a new timing belt i'll help you out

 

if it's a DX motor it probably didn't bend any valves. I'm pretty sure it's a non-interference engine. The VTEC motor (z6) will usually bend valves when the belt breaks.

probably a t-belt and water pump would get you back on the road. HOWEVER, if you have the money for an engine swap, now as good a time as ever to do one.

then how are you going to get the lower timing cover off?

 

Did you physically take apart the engine and check? The only reason I ask is because we have interference motors and if the timing belt breaks, 99% of the time you will need a head job. Depending on how healthy your motor is if you're looking for an opportunity to do an engine swap now would be as good a time as any, but if you're engine isn't damaged you could buy a timing belt kit for like $100 and just put it on and be good for a while, good luck.

 

No, it's not a B16. It's most likely a D15, or something, and you're better off just swapping the motor if you have the money

 

the money spent on timing belt you can get a d16 for like 3-400

 

yea a swap would be in my best interest i think since like you are all suggesting the motors health isnt that good 211k miles im already looking into the swap

no

also yes you need to pull the crank pulley to do a timing belt
