Thread: blown motor

well boys and girls i have had my 2002 grand prix gtp for alittle over a year. i love her i babied here took very good care of it at 24 its my first really nice car that i liked alot. sunday i was driving home on the highway from my girlfriends house. and somthin blew and i lost my oil n my engine is gone now. any suggesttions on a rebuild? a new motor to replace it or just scrap it? i love that car and the rest of it is in great shape. thanks for your help. ill take any and all suggestions.

Salvage yard engine.

Mine I think lost oil pressure, I know it spun a bearing... Sounded like a Dam Cummins Turbo Diesel on crack :P

I bought a used one for 750 with a warranty, paid to have it put in which doubled the price but was back on the road in a week. And for less than ordering the parts and tearing down and having to rebuild. My old engine needs a new crank, rods, and bearings and it would be back to golden but thatll be a while

agreed find a gtp or gt motor and take the top end off and sell it or use it top swap style on a gt motor.

if something broke in the bottom end....toss it and get a used engine...not really worth the trouble IMO

got i new motor put in with 60000 miles on it. alittle pricey when all was said and done but i got my car back and running again thank you for all your suggestions guys.
