timing chain help!
I posted this in the Bronco II section, but may get better results here:
As the message states...I think I blew a timing chain. The truck ran great, then at a stop light it just died. No restart, looks like the distributer (rotor) is not spinning.
The truck is a 1990 Bronco II in other wise great shape, but the underside and engine compartment is very rusty. Is this worth repairing? I have done timing chains myself, and may attempt it, but the rust may make it a pain in the azz to do. I also thought of an engine swap, but again, the rusty lines, (ac, power streering, etc) and rusty engine mounts might make it a challange. What should I do? What would it cost at a shop?
Thanks alot,
Whip

you said the truck ran great, so why swap motor, also you said youve done timing chains so you know what has to happen for that job. doing it yourself would be a cheap fix to get your BII back on the road and id do it cause not too many of thoes around anymore
