And now my car is broked

Replacing a GM engine is probably the easiest and cheapest engine swaps possible. They use the same engines and bolt patterns over dozens of cars, and mechanics are easy to find if you can't DIY. A friend had a Chevy minivan overheat, found a guy who drove 4 hours to get a $100 engine and still had it done that night.

• If we replace the motor, it'll probably stay in the family till it starts completely falling to pieces, as it is currently the best running car we have (barring this recent incident)
• KBB $3200 without a working engine
• No idea about that yet, currently looking for prices on engine replacements

That would be a plan, but i have a big gripe against civics. silly right?



"Now antifreeze is everywhere. hopeing waterpump but probably intake gasket I never did like chevy growing up influenced from grandpa. I guess now I know why. chevy piece of sh*t"

That's it right there.

I have a big distrust of american cars, after pushing through 2 of them in less than 2 years... I'm also learning all to well the rule that you don't buy cars from family/friends...

No joke, the reason Domestic companies build their trucks to be easy to work on, is because they will need work/maintenance. There are certain Domestics to avoid like the plague, but then there are some good ones.

That's pretty impressive that they replaced it that quick.

We ended up going the route of replacing the motor for $2500 total. It'll be done at the end of next week

Hopefully that works out for you.

Yeah, the rest of the car is in good condition, so we found a motor with 81k on it, and swapping it in. I'm hoping for the best, just gotta juggle 2 cars between work and school with my parents for a little bit.

What was your problem ichi?
