thanks fellas. i was hoping for good news but if more than one person on this board says it is interference engine that i have then it must be.

at this point i'm gonna pay for the t-belt/h20 pump in Aspen and then limp down or tow it down to Glenwood Springs. when i saw that it was 10 hours of labor at $95 in Aspen or 10 hours of labor at $65 it was an easy choice to make, $950 vs. $650.

it kills me to think that i'm gonna put 2k dollars of engine work into a vehicle that is only worth 4k total.
