A long time, I think you need a new mechanic, I suspect he was getting ready to rip you off big time, there is nothing he could see to indicate a scratch in a critical area without removing the oil pan and rod/main caps, Only area he could possibly see just changing the timing belt is the front seal area on the crankshaft IF he popped out the seal and looked, either way, if it's damaged or worn, you should be able to get a stainless steel repair sleeve like these: http://www.e-webcatalog.com/cr-skf/cataloglook.aspx 99333 Engine Crankshaft Repair Sleeve Rear;w/o Turbo 99082 Engine Oil Pump Repair Sleeve thin sleeves that you coat the inside with loctite and drive on over the damaged areas, gives the seal a new smooth place to ride search for balancer repair sleeve or crankshaft repair sleeves |
