hey my eclipse decided to start knockin at me and i found out that my bearing is shot on the end of the rod....what should i do......get a new motor???? get a used one.....and where do i start looking.....it is 97 gst

 

Quick way to fix, drop pan and just replace spun bearing. Right way take it to a shop and have them replace all of the lower bearings. After that watch your oil level, so this dosent happen anymore.

 

ok but when i brought it to a shop they told me to don't bother tryin to fix it....he told me to go and find a new motor.....the problem is that i still owe 4500 on the car...so how much will it cost me to fix it?

 

Dont listen to him, I wanted to rebuild my motor for boost and a guy at a shop told me to put a mitsu motor in it (4g63) which would cost 3 times more to do, not including labor. Go to a different shop (not a dealer) and see if they will do it. Normally they can do the work, you just go to twist their arm to do it. Plus they run alot on the stupidity of their customers, so everytime they give you a reason for not doing something ask them why. If you cant find a shop that is willing to replace the bearings then see if you can get one to replace the short block. You can find a 4g63 short block from a junk yard for 500 or so.
