OK so one of my idler pulleys seized causing 2 of my cam gears and my timing belt to break. I knew there was a good chance I had bent valves but I did not feel like taking the heads off yesterday. I went ahead and replaced the belt, pulley and cam gears fired the car up and it runs but not well, the check engine light is on and it ticks real bad. The compression and leak down both show bad results. So instad of taking the heads off I am probly just going to replace the motor with a junk yard one I think it will be cheaper. What motor will work for me besides the ej25 it came with? I am not interested in doing a wrx swap or anything, will a L motor work? is that a 2.2? If anyone has suggestions please let me know.
Thanks
Oh yeah the car is a 98 2.5rs so it has the dohc motor
