Thanks. I assume so.
But, to fix the timing they would have to extract the snapped bolt, get a new tensioner, possibly open and inspect or replace a few valves... I'm wondering what are the chances the engine will survive after doing all that. It would be a shame to throw more money at it for nothing, and perhaps i should use that cash for an engine swap to begin with.
