i'll be honest when I say this is a job that I would not be comfortable doing and my friend said he'd rather not. He did find a used engine w/ 50,000 miles on it for $850. He did tell me later today that the total wouldn't go over $1300 for sure. He said the repair would cost more than dropping a new engine confused I'm confused, really dont know what to do. I am leaning towards just buying another beater though. The escort has served me well and I enjoyed the car alot...i think its time to part our ways frown
