Message	Can you use any tt engine to swap into a 96tt? The timing belt broke on the 96. A shop put a new one on and determined that two cylinders, 4 and 6, had low compression. I don't know how low, but not zero. So I need to pull the engine and put a new one in. There is a chance that only the valves are bent, but won't know until I start tearing her apart.
