Yup, you're supposed to replace those timing belts every so often so that doesn't happen. I'm seeing recently sold engines on eBay for $1.5k -$3k so the quote you got was quite high since there shouldn't be 40 hours of labor involved.
Wrong engine block. This was the 2.0 Theta II RS T-MPi used in the Genesis Coupe. That engine has a timing chain, rated to last the lifespan of the engine - and it sure as hell did because it took the whole engine with it! haha this was a garbage engine, they discontinued it years ago.
