What should I do?

[drew12000]

Ha whats up engine builders? Whats going on is my f22a engine wouldn't curculate oil. So it started to get louder, u knw from the metal on metal contact. A macanic checked it out and found metal shavings in the oil and that the timing belt was close to breaking also he couldn't get the harmanic balancer off.He seems to think that it would be better to just get another engine instead of just getting an oilpump like i thought I only needed. What do ya"ll think? And if its time to get another engine what rout should I go. I won't to get the same engine for now but is it cheaper to just replace the parts damaged? You know head probaly good maybe gettiing a new block? Any help would be great. I have no ride and my Nikes have about 10% tread left. Thanks

see if you can get your hands on an f22a6, sounds like the damage has been done, if there are actual metal shavings in the oil. Also, since he couldnt get the balancer off, it leads me to think that something may have warped. Replacing parts now may work, but who knows what other parts have been fucked up. It really depends, its hard to say not knowing, but definately get another opinon.
