Looking for someone to diagnose/fix an issue for a 97-98 Prelude in Oakland.

Crank pulley started to wobble during driving, the belts came off and car stalled.

I put the pulley and belts back on,tightening as much as I can, car cranks but wont start.

With cylinder #1 at TDC, the 2 arrows on the cam gears are not point completely straight up, they are pointing slightly to the left like \ \

Car has fuel, spark, and 150 compression on all 4 cylinders.

Car is sitting in my driveway in Oakland. I don't know if it is a timing issue, sensor, destroyed crank/block or what.

Just trying to fix the car if its cheap so I can get rid of it.

I prefer to work with someone with vouches or possibly works as a certified mechanic. Tried to deal with someone else who didn't show up already.

Please let me know your rate.
Thanks

 

I would fix it, but you have to tow it to my place.

 

Any ideas on the issue? What is the ballpark figure it would be best / worst case scenario?

 

check craigslist in richmond? I saw a guy who claimed to be a certified honda mechanic.

 

+1 for Rigo. Had my car towed up to him since I live an 1hr away. He knows his ****. Well worth the tow. Now I take all my cars for service to rigo

 

Which belts came off?

 

the belt that is on the crank pulley came off, also the ac/ps belts? basically all the belts came off i think.

yeah i might consider towing it, i would hate to take the car to a general mechanic who would charge a grip doing diagnostic which might not be the issue.. ie. i dont want to be told that engine needs to be replaced if the only issue is timing is off.

i think someone who is specialized in hondas would be best for this.

 

this is the guy, he is local to you. call and chop it with him up and see if you can get a deal done.
