I noticed a rod knock and drove my car home. Then I went outside to try and track down my missing isc position clilp, and saw my timing belt was ripped. I just want to know where I should go to find head gasket kit, timing belt, main and rod bearings, and the gaskets for the oil pan. Im gonna have to just do a complete rebuild almost. And my wallet has been pretty thin lately.LOL

Do you think it would be ok for me to back it up and drive it into the garage to replace the belt? I could push it, but I have a gravel driveway that is on a slope and leads to the garage and was trying to avoid that...Dont want to risk it thought either...opinions?
 
if you literally dont go over 1,500 rpms and baby the crap outta it up that hill it might be ok. if its a HUGE hassle i would try it but if that belt does break you are looking at a $500+ rebuild just for those parts that break and thats if your pistons are good!
 
Yeah. I think I can push.

And its downhill. I didnt want to be rolling downhill then hit the brakes and just slide through the gravel into the garage and maybe hit something. But anything that I would hit is probably worth less than $800.
