“Give your head a shake”? no need to jump on someone for asking a question, I was asking if it was feasible to look at an engine from a car that’s getting junked or to do the timing chain on it, assuming the cost is relatively similar. I’m not here looking to stuff a built engine into a 12 year old car.
There are a fair amount of used engines to be had under $2k and I assume a timing chain and whatever other miscellaneous stuff is needed wouldn’t end up that far off cost wise. I am not worried about resale value, I plan to drive it till it dies/keep it as a spare for the foreseeable future.
The reason I think there is an issue is a sudden rattle that has developed and a misfire under full acceleration.
I reached out to George but haven’t heard back yet, I’m sure in the end I’ll just end up getting him to do the chain
