I've had several 9000's over the years (same engine) and they have had some issues with timing chains and balance shaft chains. If the rest of the car is in good shape I'm not sure why you "have to" part it out. Sure it'll probably cost $2-3K but what's the alternative? Take zip for your car and then have to come up with the mooney to replace it (the same $2-3K won't buy much). You could finance something, but $250 a month would be the equivolent ($3K a year) of replacing your engine every year for the next 5 years. Beleive it or not replacing the engine is the cheap way out.
