So I was driving home after getting my car profesionally detailed and i was sitting at a stoplight and she stahled out. I tried to start it up and it wouldnt so i pushed it to the side of the road and opened the hood. It was smoking from the drivers side and smelled like burnt rubber. I felt the timing belt cover and it was hot so i was worried. I got out my tool set, took off the timing belt cover and saw the timing belt was still on, but i looked in there and all the teeth were stripped off. I got it towed to a mechanic and the tensoiner pully gave out and it also jumped time.
He put a new timing belt, water pump, and the pullies on and started it up and it ran!!!! but he listened to it and 1st and 4th gear were missing he said. so the valves did get f***ed.
now for your advive...
This mechanic seems pretty honest and familiar with 3000gt/stealths.
1. he said he could rebuild whats broken and hopefully have it fixed for 1900
2. I could try to do this myself(althought i'm not very mechanically inclined) and just look on the forum on how to do it
3. Maybe have someone off 3si come help me with it
4. Buy a completely different engine and swap them
5. part her out(i would have a VERY difficult time doing this one, unless it was the best option)

I have a 93 3000gt base with 115k on it

ANY opinions and advice would be appriciated.
thanks guys
