In my 1993 eclipse GS, I was driving it and it shot up in straight smoke. When I got it towed, I pulled the valve cover off and there were 5 loose metal things just laying aroud in threre (lifters?) When I pulled the valvle cover. Since the car is an automatic, I was hoping that it didn;t bend valves, but the loose metal things freaked me out. Timing belt has several missing teeth. I was wondering if the engine is junk, or saveable. The car is an automatic too when the tb btoke.
