The existing engine has damaged nos 3 & 4 cylinders plus burnt exhaust valves. As these engines are to expensive to rebuild,I need to replace the engine ( chain drive camshafts ). These engines are hard to find and are expensive.. Are there any timing belt model engines that will fit my 2004 ( manufacture year ) vehicle?

There are no alternative engines, if you contact any of the larger metro wreckers they have a hot line connection and can post your engine and this increases the options of finding a suitable replacement, they are not that hard to locate.
