I can't recall the exact nature of the repairs, but it cost me $300, and my aftermarket warranty company approx $2800. Seems the cylinder walls needed rebuilt afterwords...

That included a new water pump, pulleys, some kind of crank seal and of course the belt and labor. Oh and a 60$ tow charge. That was on a 99 se 4 cylinder. Hope that helps.

Trust me you can usually tell if your off a tooth. But mine didn't break I just did it while I was doing the water pump which was a pita.
