    Hope you didn't bend any valves. You need to really be careful when you do the timing belt install and make ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY SURE THE TIMING IS RIGHT!!! I hope the timing belt and water pump take care of everything. So was the timing belt just worn out? Or did the water pump start to go? It seems kind of odd that it would just jump timing w/o one of those things happening. If you already said and I just didn't read forgive me!

    no bent valves, thank god.
    well it was kind of weird, the morning ( yesterday) i was gon take it to the exhaust shop to get it done and looked it, i started the car up, started up, kept my foot on the gas and the rpm wentf rom 2k rpm right back to 0 and turned off and i couldn't restart it, kept just making that tickign sound when you try to start it back up.


    to be on the safe side,m i went to and spent about 250 bucks and bought a new timing belt kit( comes with a tensioner), new water pump, cam seals, and crank seals

    also whats wierd, i only have 67k-70 k on this motor, im suprised it went out this early, imma still have my mechanic ( who is back in town) look at it for me

    i know you love my swagger
