Have a '92 Dynasty sitting in the backyard. Came from the sister inlaw's boyfriend. Before he sells it to a scrap yard I'm trying to see if it's worth my time to fix the problem.

Trying to determine if the ega is a non interface motor or not.

 

Welcome to DF
Do you have the 3.0 or the 3.3 engine?

 

It's the Chrysler motor (3.3).

He was driving it, the timing belt broke. His 'mechanic' fixed it and he drove it for a couple more weeks. On the freeway driving he said there was a popping sound then it stopped. Trying to start it now there is a massive grinding / marbles shaking in a can (it sounds like a starter to me or maybe something came loose in the front timing area but I don't know without tearing into it).

I want to drop the pan and front end to see if it'll be worth my time (and money) to fix it. He'll sell it to me for $300, I'd feel comfortable putting another $200 into it (if the motor didn't smash itself to **** internally).
