    Depends on what you guys want...If she likes the car and you have a PnP near by just buy an engine and replace it.If money is an issue that would certainly be cheaper than buying another car....

    opinions on car break down.

    So my sisters car broke down the other week. Went and picked it up. After looking into it, established that the timind belt had broke. No loud thunks or anything though. Anyway, I replaced the timing belt yesterday and started the car up. Started up but ran really roughly. I think some valves are bent. So here is where you guys come in. What do you think we should do?

    Car information:
    2002 Hyundai sonata v6
    24x000 miles
    Ran great before timing belt snap
    Car is in great condition. Never had any problems with it
    New tires

    Sister information:
    College student
    Not much money to spend

    Options:
    Pull heads and find new ones out of a junkyard motor
    Find used motor
    Find cheap e30(or other car) and scrap car or sell to somebody on CL as is.

    Going to do compression and leakdown tests this week. So what do you all think we should do. Opinions?
