hey all, i have a 2.8 GU and the timing belt went a while back, it got replaced and ran pretty good for a while but then started missing and got hot one day, now it knocks and looses the antifreeze. Its cooked right? its a 98 DX is it even worth spending the money on fixing or replacing the engine?

cheers

maybe a water pump has collapsed

How many kms? Heads go on these quite often round the 200k mark. Ehat did you replace when the belt went. Could be a warranty thing cause the head would have needed to come off to fix after belt snapped

has 260K and i had been told about the head problems, i was away and got a belt and the tensioners sent up to me the pump wasnt too bad at the time
