I think I may be in for a timing chain and valve job, as my 93 died after an enthusiatic romp on the throttle.
It has an odd crank-crank-crank-clunk sequence now, so I'm thinking the timing chain isn't timing any longer, and it's not the usual suspects of DI, fuel pump, or CPS.
I haven't opened it up yet, but I'm going to assume I'll have valve bendage to deal with, so I'm trying to gauge what I'll be in for, and what options I should consider in getting it back up. Adding up parts for timing chain replacement, valves, head bolts and various other assorted things comes up to $800. With about 137k on the clock, are valves usually replaced wholesale for jobs like this, or only on a as-needed basis?
Would an engine swap be a better course of action or fixing it?
I'll probably get into it this weekend, but figured it might be good to plot a course for now..
