Timing Belt Skip
I have a stock b18a on my teg. the timing belt on it skipped. I got it like that. whats my cheapest out to get my car running? replace the timing belt and tensioner or go with a new "used engine"??? I think my cheapest out would be timing belt and tensioner but I'm not sure if the valves bent or not. Not sure if the b18a is classified to be an "Interference Engine" or a "non-interference engine" what are my other options, because im on a tight-like-pin hole budget. HELP!?

buy a cheap timing belt and throw it on quickly to check if it has a bent valve.
on a LS engine chances are it did not bend a valve but depending on how high the rpm was and how much the timing belt slipped it may have bent a couple.
