Hi Everyone i hope you all are having a better day than me.
Earlier this week (monday) i was driving along and suddenly my vx's engine quit. i was going about 60/km/hr at the time. unfortunately after many attempts she wouldn't start again. so i had it towed to my mechanic and he said that it was the starter, so i had him fix it thinking id have my girl back to me in no time. my mechanic installed the new starter and tried to turn it on ...... it didn't. so he dove deeper into what the problem could be. it turns out that both cams have seized completely, he cant even move them with a giant wrench. so hes in the proses of taking the engine apart to see what caused this. it went from a $500 (canadian) job to now a $2,000-$5,000 job.
i was wondering if anyone could give me any advise or help on this, cause i love my truck and dont want to see her leave.
