Wow,I believe I was lied to.
What happened was,my wife's grandfather owns a garage.Any family member receives free labor.He told us that the motor was junk(after timing belt broke)and we should just get another vehicle.He said valves were bent and crank was broke.I am not a very good mechanic.I just know the basics,like oil changes,plugs and wires,and simple stuff like that.So we just took his word for it.I never actually inspected the motor myself,and still haven't.
We put alot of money into our van(tire,shocks,etc.)and to be honest we never owned a more dependable vehicle than that villager.So after a brief discussion between my wife and I,we decided to fix it.
So,we called a few junkyards and found a 3.0L that would fit(only it came from a 95,our van is a 93) and had a friend change motors.The motor cost 300.00 and my friend charged 300.00 to put it in.He still has the old motor,btw.That is where I got the coil and extra dist. from.
So what you are telling me Tempfixit,all the old motor needed was a new timing belt,correct?If it is,then I think my wifes pap,and uncle didn't want to change that broken belt.It would have been cheaper if they were honest about it,because my friend who changed motors for us would surely have done the job for alot less than the 300.00 motor swap.
Oh boy when my wife hears this ,she is gonna be fired up,lol.
Well,I really am thankful for folks like you Temp that take the time to help us less mechanically inclined folks out.You really did save me alot of time and money.And nowadays with 3 kids,thats a godsend.THANK YOU!
Edit:When I said the rotor wiggled I meant shaft and rotor wiggled.It don't wiggle much,but there is some play there.I will check other distributor and post back.
