Thanks for adding me to the forum!
Just bought a 2003 Vibe (vin #8) attempted a tensioner replacement on a loose/stretched chain. Put it out of time and locked up the engine. SUCKS!
I found 2 engines that fit for a replacement were doing this weekend. One is from a 2004 Vibe with 141k miles for $399 and the other is an 05 Matrix with 136k miles for $399. The site for the engine says both are a exact fit. My question is should it be exact for the both engines? Part of me thinks just to get the 04 Vibe because it should surely be the same just wasnt sure if the Matrix may have some things slighly diff with the same engine.
Thanks!
