to change or swap

[stretch]

hey guy and ladys i have a question. my timeing belt just gave out on my cb and i have 350,000 miles on motor. should i swap motor or just fix the timeing belt for now. how much does it typically cost to replace the belt compared to motor swap?

[91kid]

I would swap the motor 350k is really up there and its going to cost a bit to fix the belt...

Are you capable of doing the belt and or swap yourself?

[stretch]

im good doing things but that no i would be haveing a shop do it the shop told me it would be 850 for another f22 that makes me think i might be able to find a h22 dang near the same price

[91kid]

I would check www.Hmotorsonline.com to get a motor and then see how much the shop wants for labor

[stretch]

labor is 450 that 800 was pretty much for everything

[91kid]

ok well labor for the h22 wouldn't be much more as the swap is pretty simple i think the h22 is 1k from the site though....

Your motor will most likely need work if the timing belt broke while it was running. Just swap out a new one and sell/build the old one.

Real talk

i would just find a friend of a friend who fixz cars and find a clean used A6 head from a junkyard with less miles and replaced it with new gasket and timing kit and keep the f22 runnin untill you find a cheap Dohc swap around youre town or have enough save up for it..

im with him on this one...

i would buy a replacement engine or find an h22/23
a snapped timing belt could have caused some internal damage
i.e. bent valves leading to ruined head
plus youve got a solid 350k miles on it anyways if you replace the engine you can drive your cb7 for another 350k =]
AND since you live in TN i could prolly help

have a friend help and get a good running f22a1,a4 or hope for a a6 and put that in.. cost ?$300 you do the work it`s not that hard

thanks guys i think i'll go with another f22 for now then save up for a h22 and tm123 what part of tn you live in

What he said. You are probably going to have bent valves in your existing engine due to the effects of the timing belt breaking, so swapping in another motor is quicker. then you can fix up the old one in a relaxed way if you want to.

If it was me I would swap.

so would you guys think it would be worth keeping it and trying to rebuild that also. or just junk it
