I'm looking to buy a car with a broken/shredded timing belt. Is there any possibility of piston damage? I know the valves are probably shot. I have a spare head at home so I'm not worried about that. Car is being sold REAL cheap, but I don't want to spend alot of money on the motor if I don't have to. It has 141k on it FWIW.

Even if there is, depending on how cheap you're getting it, undamaged stock rod & piston assemblies can be had fpr cheap... i have at least six or seven laying around myself.
But yes, the chance exists.

Those might have great other uses too

Go for it. if you're planing on rebuilding the head, a stock bottom end rebuild in the event there is piston damage won't add much more to the cost.

Nice hat rack. Car is selling for $600. Do any of you think it will be worth the price? Everything else looks good on the car(interior, body, etc.)
