well I looked at it under the hood a bit better today.

\*power steering res is slightly melted (still serviceable)  
\*battery is scorched a bit on the corner (still serviceable)  
\*serp belt melted onto my plastic timing cover so both the belt and cover need to be replaced.  
\*DIS (ignition module) badly burned and will likely need replacement)

I didn’t jack the car up because i lost my drive to work on it for now but I imagine the 2 lower timing covers will need replacement as well and possibly the main crank seal if the crank got hot enough to damage it which i doubt. Somehow there is no damage at all to the hood thank god.

I wonder what the book price is on replacing the timing covers. I would bet at least 3 + all discontinued parts. I guess i’ll be cleaning up the car and calling a adjuster out on tuesday.

edit: the wideband is shot too.
