I would, but I don't know what all would be involved with it. Im getting an$ 800 tax return and that's all the money I have I got a quote today for $2100 from my mechanic, that's putting an engine in from a car with 79000 miles on it

Hi `Dustin, really sorry 2 read about your engine & the knock : (
Even the best of the best engines have problems. Maybe it's just a bad wrist pin ?....Did you run the codes ?

Check out the below link, and hopefully it will give you some idea's or insight....Good Luck 4-Real-Sure.
