No. That's in no shape to be running. I believe the Zetecs are a little closer on valve to piston clearance than the trusty old Lima style motors. If that skips time, or the belt breaks, you can probably kiss the whole motor goodbye.

I just talked to a friend that is very into escorts and he says that i could deck the head and still not have problems. I got a quote for $296.16 to have it replaced, does that sound like a good deal. I have never had to replace one before.
