Apparently I've had a sudden catastrophic failure of the timing chain (or thereabouts) at roughly 145k miles and need to make a decision.

It was a 3.2L BKH engine.

Since it's only about halfway through what I thought would be its expected life (and thus, the loan to pay for it ...), I'm trying to figure out which option I should pursue:

a) new / rebuilt engine
b) rebuild this engine
c) find a different engine (newer, more reliable, etc.)
d) sell it off for parts
e) tow it to the edge of a cliff and push it over.

Anyone have any experience on (a), (b) or (c)?

All input is appreciated!

 

Busted cam girdle (see photo). Needs a new head, but the shop can't find any pax side heads that are off an engine. So it's a new used engine.
