I know nothing about cars so i'll try to explain this as best I can and hope someone can make sense of it. My car blew up, mechanic says timing belt blew which threw off a doohickey in the engine- I think he said it controlled the pressure- which busted my motor. Should I junk it or fix it? He said without dropping a new engine in just fixing the timing belt etc would be ripping me off as it would only be a temp fix...can anyone help? Sorry so vague if there something I can answer to clarify I will try.
