Subject: Re: Broken timing chain


I jsut spoke to a mechanic who is doing a repair on a '93 9000 with a broken timing chain and the guy is in for a little oer $1000 for the repair. I suppose if you have a couple hundred thousand miles on the car it may be worth it...otherwise...that's a ton of cash.
