So as some of you know my engine locked up about 2 weeks ago. Been lookin, thinking, and pondering........

Well bought an engine with 90k on it 6 month warranty for $2200 shipped.

He said between $450-$550 to install w/ new fluids.

Hows that sound?

good price on the install

I just hope that engine gives you another 90k

used engines are always a gamble, hell, sometimes new ones are a gamble

take advantage of that 6 mo warranty though, hear anything weird or strange behavior get it fixed

may be beneficial to send in oil samples during that period as well

blackstone

and it would be more for your own knowledge of the condition of the engine than anything else

Ever used them before Mike? I just ordered a kit from them. Guess we will see how my engine is doing.
