Need some options
Just heard back from the shop about my car. The power steering belt being caught up in my harmonic balancer did cause it to jump time about 5 teeth. Was recommended to replace the belt since it got frayed with the other belt getting caught up in there. Now we did find the issue with my injectors. The gas tank has rust, so it needs to be replaced because the rust is getting past the fuel filter and clogging them back up. Where can I go about a replacement gas tank, my mechanic said he took a look about and could not find a solid option for one, is there any aftermarket tanks I could look into getting, or am I going to have to bite the bullet and try a used one?
(Edit: I am aware of a good possibility of bent valves, that’s on the list to have my mechanic check tomorrow when I call back with info.)

I am willing to talk about pricing and whatnot, i will say I want to spent 7500-8500

hi I’ve noticed that my temp gauge now runs around 1-2 ticks above mid line now when I started driving in Arizona it was 108 degrees outside and now I’m wondering if i should be worried?

Doing a turbo build on my 99 sohc and just curious if anyone knows if dohc con rods will work in the sohc block, I know the castings are different and I dont expect there to be clearance issues however just wanted to see if anyone has and experience?

(Yes I understand that doing a dohc swap would be more beneficial and financially responsible and also understand that a vr4 swap would make more power)

For context, had my car in the shop a few weeks back, 2 injectors had failed, got 6 remanufactured put in, changed fuel filter again, called it a day, sounded a lot better and felt the proper power. Well right before I took my 9 hour one way trip, it started sounding like it was misfiring again, so he told me to bring it back when I got back to take a look at it again. Fast forward to after the trip, came back, and was having power steering issues, noticed my power steering reservoir was empty, assumed a leak somewhere, filled it up and was planning on going investigating this last weekend. Found out Thursday night, my power steering belt had shredded, so I went to go get another one, and my car stalled and wouldn’t start back up, so I had it towed back to said shop. Now to my main point/concern. Talked to them today, and apparently my power steering belt did not shred and fall out, it’s wrapped up in my harmonic balancer according to them. What could I possibly be looking at for repair wise with something like this/what possible damage could it have caused? If I have to do major engine repair, I’ll probably go ahead and source one, and just have a swap out done, that way I can go over said engine before it goes back in.

Hey guys,

So my clutch basically had a very spongy feel. Figured it was just an old slave that needed to be changed, I changed it out and the line wouldn't bleed pumped the pedal 100 times and nothing. However, if I put a hand pump on the line I can get some fluid to come out. I am thinking it's the master clutch cylinder, anything I am missing or should check before I start taking it apart?
