imo the only alternative to replacing the engine is replacing the timing chain and that is going to cost more than a grand i'm guessing, but it may not fix bent valves, which is an expensive teardown. most guys will just get you a new/remanufactured set of heads.

now you're approaching the cost of replacing the engine in the first place.

I thought German cars had metal timing chains? The Jap cars all are plastic and go out around 100K. Depending on the car it can do a lot of damage. I had my Tundra changed around 90K but my BMW has 120K with no issues...knock on wood.

they are metal mike - but they somehow STILL can snap or get kinked (unsure of the correct term)

BTW just to confirm, since I don't think you stated. Basically this happened in a parking lot at idle? And the motor just shut off on you? Sound bad before it shut off? I assume no CEL's before the motor died? Just want to check that it's not something like bad tensioners or chain guides(i.e. those would trigger a CEL but might not kill the motor).

You can bend the valves turning the motor over with a ratchet if you roll through it.
if it started at all it could have bent the valves.

Absolutely true, but the amount of damage if the valves are bent is likely significantly less than if he dropped a valve. Depending upon how severely they are bent the repair costs could be significantly less compared to if he dropped a valve.

Thanks Jason for giving it a look. According to the web - I'm seeing it's a non interference - well, not now - but when it happened - I seem to recall finding it as such when i looked on the web.

Can one of you all look? I'm tired.
