hey guys/gals
im in a bad spot. i *think* i have a broken cam on the passenger side. the mechanic i had the car towed to surmised that based on that pulley being frozen and the clunking noise i heard when i had to pullover on the PA turnpike. its an 01 NA Foz with 84*** miles on it. mechanic quoted me between $5-8k for a teardown/rebuild and/or new or used engine installed. he doesnt know the extent of damage without taking it apart. any ideas or possible options i may have? i dont want to get a new car, ive only had the Foz for just a year and cant afford a car payment. thanks in advance for your help and advice.
