Thread: PO301 code. Did my research and just need a little guidance.

God I hope its nothing internal. I left the metal shrouds back on for sure. I just thought that those were to help protect them from the heat off the manifolds. Well I suppose its going to go to the mechanic. Just curious but what did it cost you to have the cracked piston issue fixed? I am gonna be pissed if I have to have the motor pulled out. If that is the case I will be calling my buddy's dads junk yard in search of a GTP motor.

Well, I bought a replacement engine and done the swap myself(A lift in my shop helped)for about $2300. Could've tore the engine down and replaced the 2 pistons for about $500 if I would've had a little more experience with these engines. But if you do have to get a replacement, dont get from Proformance engines. I've been through 3 of them, finally rebuilt the last one myself for about $1100 with upgraded rods, crank, etc. Good luck, hope its not the engine.
