  1. I just want to thank all of you who took the time to analyze this little, but big situation, thank you so much!!
  2. OK, let me tell my story, then hopefully one of you great people can help me. I was taking my boys to school one morning, dropped one at the middle school and took off to take the other to the HS. Going around the middle school, I headed south, coming up to a flashing red light behind an elementary school. OK, so I stopped, looked and took off, school zone is 10 MPH, then it just died. So I pulled to the side of the street and like I did the very first time this happened (another story), turned the key to try and start, then I snapped tht it was the timing belt. So had the boy push us to a side street. Had the Path towed to the house by a friend, started taking everything apart, but could not get the bolt off to the bottom sprocket/pulley. Had a local mechanic put it back together-with new belt, water pump and thermostat. He calls and tells me that there is no compression to #1 and #4 and unsure about #6 (he couldn't get to it). So I asked him if he turned the #1 piston to TDC and he tells me that "you don't need to do that". He also tells me that I probably have a or couple of bent rods. I can understand if I was going down the highway at 75MPH, yes, engine would be trash and I would not be writing this, but 1000RPM's and comi g off a stop light???? I would just like to know, if it was to be placed at TDC and everything else counted and taken care of and without taking the valve covers off, would I have my engine back? I think he is just trying to get extra money out of me, but if I am wrong, I will eat my words. Thanks to everyone and anyone that can help me.
