Need help finding out if I blew my engine or not?

Need to see if the timing belt broke....

EITHER REPAIR WILL EXCEED THE VALVE OF THE CAR.

Sorry I am unable to answer your specific question. I 'inherited' a '98 Escort that is not running. So I am going to 'tinker' with it over the summer, hope to get it going. But I want to tell you this: While I am just a 'shadetree' mechanic, I have learned a lot about repairing autos. Currently I have a 1991 Mazda Protege and a 1992 Dodge Dakota 4 X 4 that I keep running. I have purchased Haynes manuals for both (Chilton's manuals are similar, so you have an option). The manuals, supplemented by information I am able to access online (ask.com, youtube, etc.) have enabled me to keep them going. What stimulated my response to your question is the reply that repair of your auto will exceed the car's value. I would take this advice with great caution. Many of the parts I have used to replace those on the protege and dakota I get from a car-yard (Pull & Save). I have had great success with this. Depending on your situation, if you have time and interest, you may be able to learn a lot about the problem with your car issue(s) even if you are not able to repair it yourself. I will also say this: I would much rather put time and effort into keeping these autos that a PAID IN FULL (no payments!) running, than into throwing money at monthly payments.Anyway, don't give up quickly. The value of my protege and dakota far exceeds that of the 'blue book' or other system that places a monetary value on the vehicles. I hope this is helpful to you. Best wishes. DakotaProtege
