Well it's been about 15 years since I had my last Eagle Talon, I have been searching for about the last 5 years to find another one. I finally pulled the trigger and bought one this week. Already wondering what I have gotten myself into. Also it is way harder to find parts now than it was back then. I'm planning to go with a solid, good looking street build.
Here she is just picked up after having sat for the past several years. (apprx 7 years)
Step 1 will be to get up and running. Got power to it and checked all connections . Turned the key and starter spun, didn't crank then this came up.
Seller did not indicate any major engine failure but seeing this has me highly suspicious. It's not the end of the world, I was just hopping to at least her the motor fire up. No telling if I am dealing with a blown motor or detonated head. Is there any easy way to find out before starting in on a timing job?
I've got parts on order for timing belt replacement and water pump

Should I just bite the bullet now and look for new motor now or should I attempt working with what I have?
I do not do much of my own work, I took the car straight to a shop that I really trust and is easy to work with. The mechanics recommendation was to do the timing job and hope for the best.
Thanks for any feedback, parts should arrive next week to keep moving.
