Ok, I dont want to get flagged again so im posting in the newbie section. Anyway, I have a 98 spyder gs (4g64). Stock everything, automatic 112,000 miles or so. My balancer shaft belt snapped and took out my crank sensor. It didnt take out the TB, but teeth are missing on it.To me it doesnt look like it jumped,I can turn the crank by hand wIth a little resistance. hope thats not bad
Getting to the point. Since its getting cold out,I only have a one stall garage that only gets power from 7pm until 8 am,And I dont get off work until 3/4am. What would be the smartest thing to do. Just hope that it didnt jump teeth and mess up lifters,and just replace the timing components and such,OR..find the parts needed for the head swap. Now given I hate cold and here in MN,we some how missed fall and went straight to winter.
. Im not in a hurry to get it running but am lost without it you know!?
Ive noticed a few 1gs going into u-pull r-parts down here (and that is how it spelled
I dont think im going to be boosting it so i dont think finding all the parts for the swap would be too hard. and would be cheap considering a head would only be 43 bucks,and the ecu is like 21 bucks plus whatever things I could find.
Im just trying to get opinions,Im actually in a crossroad for this car. so thank you for any feedback good or bad that might be said.
