[s-cars] Update on I-4 Catastrophe...

[kcmadsen at bellsouth.net]

More info from the mechanic.  Says it looks like the serpentine belt broke and lodged in the camshaft causing the timing belt to slip off.  He confirmed what everyone else on the list already said--there is valve damage--at the least.  He already has parts on order from five different states to start working on it.  Said a minimum of 1 week downtime and looking at ~$2800.  Could be more once they get a good look inside.
Guess I'll be eating Ramen noodles for the rest of the year.
