Hello all,
So it seems my kid managed to ignore the instructions about checking oil, oil changes, etc. To make a long story stop, the engine is toast and needs to be replaced.
Any ideas? I've done engine swaps before, but the last one was 20 years ago on a very old Jeep Cherokee. Definitely a different animal. Mechanic spit-balled about $2500 for a used engine installed, so near as I can tell, I'm screwed.
What the heck do I do with this thing? Everything else in the car is fine.
As you might've guessed, I'm more than a little cheesed off and will be extracting more than a pound of flesh for this one.
Thanks for listenin'!
Andy
