Default That knockin sound

Ok guys that knocking sound turned out to be in my engineer, its called a crankwall [:'(]. So im payin 2,200 for a new engine and about 3,500 to put it in and fix a few other things. My old engine had about 123,000 miles on it and now my new engine has about 46,000 miles on it.

Thats way to much money for the engine and install. I assume this is the price a shop gave you.

2200 is to damn much for a used 420a. and the 420a is notknown toget crank walk. Check around at your local junk yards or dsmtrader and see if you should be able to find one alot cheaper than that.

what "exactly" happened. And dont say the engine blew cuz that tells me nothing. And you are getting totally ripped up the *** on those prices. Is this what the shop is telling you cuz it sounds to me like youneed to get your car out of there.
