When i called to verify my vin for the engine i asked about the two. the guy just said it just depends which one they pull. Kin...

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...
