1988 D-50 2.0L G63B Manual Transmission.....The subject pretty much sums it up. Other night was driving at a slower (about 20mph) speed and started hearing a tick (like valves) from rear of engine. then it just died and would not restart. towed home to discover engine locked up. I pulled timing cover and found the balance shaft belt broken and tangled up. Removed it and tried to turn by hand and it made about 3/4 of a turn and would not go any further. I then pulled the camshaft so I could "reset" everything but crankshaft still will not turn. Any ideas on how to get around this or am I looking at a bigger nightmare.
