timing belt snapped, advice sought

ok, so my belt snapped due to my pos stepdad 'beating it with a hammer', according to my trustworthy mechanic. theyve never ripped me off, and offer a 2 year warranty on all parts and labor. the thing is, since the belt snapped, they told me the camshaft housing was shattered, the head needs light to moderate work, and the drive belts and timing belt need to be changed. theyre currently quoting me 1200 for parts and labor, but they said itll probably drop when they get definitive totals on all parts needed. is this too high?

you probably also have bent valves since the lanos has an interference engine. i'm not sure about what the cost should be but you should look on ebay b/c they will have some of those parts brand new for real cheap.

oddly, no bent valves. thats the first thing they checked

thats one of the big things they kept repeating why the engine is still usable.

you know what i wasn't really paying attention the reason why you don't have bent valves is b/c the motor wasn't running was it when your stepdad broke it? well you got lucky then.

yeah, i was doing about 20mph when my woo lost power. pulled it over, tried to start it once for about 3 seconds. when that didnt work (it sounded aALOT different than usual startup) i pushed it to my casa and had it towed the next morning,

You could get a whole new engine for less than $1200

Hell.... you could get a 2.0L for less than that (although the install would be expensive if done by a mechanic who knows nothing about Daewoo engines )

My opinion is that this is less than a days work.

I'd be curious what "the head needs light to moderate work" means.

Where do you live??

What is SATX?

where could i get an engine for a good price? a bigger engine is what i want if the cost exceeds 1500$. ill get back to you on the light to moderate work, i just got out of the hospital. and satx = san antonio texas
