My local shop will do that and I trust them. We shall see. Thanks for the response.

Condition otherwise is great. I can't do that work- I'm guessing at least a few bent valves bc of speed, though it blew and stopped immediately with no overheating or severe fluid loss. I might have gotten lucky but not sure if it's worth the chance or investment.

My 99 Forester S with 147k blew a timing belt at speed on I5 in a small town with no decent Subaru shop. Paid $3600 for it but trying to weigh options to sell of fix. Cost to tow back to Seattle is $630, with repairs and other maintenance items estimated around 3400$ from All Wheel (great shop). Anyone sell one broken and for how much? Cosmetically not perfect (it's a 99) but clean inside and otherwise in good condition.
