PS: huge waste of money is gonna happen here. this shop time to "look" at your old engine and the cost of a ZZpoop crate engine will now be worth more then the car its self. then the trans will blow up cause thats what they do. your dad needs a good talking to.

if you found a used engine for say 500 or so, then another 500 to install it cause clearly your not doing it and your done, back on the road.

go the way your thinking, and well your looking at around 3 grand to invest into a car thats worth 2 grand. some how im thinking theres lots of rust under this car, and the strut towers are either shot or on their way. that being said, look over your rust, you could find another gtp for less then what your dad is willing to spend on the new engine.

Well your wrong again scott this car is mint its never seen a winter and has zero rust on it thats reason why iam keeping it. oil sprayed twice a year and gets what it needs. If your junk is worth 2000 then maybe thats how you keep your cars then.
then what just to buy another gtp then what 10000kms down the road its something else no thanks not going to take the cheap route .

if i wanted the car just for the road i would have bought a beater civic for 500 and call it that and run it into the ground.

cant wait ot find out the answer tomorrrow on what it is and if its a simple crack piston which seems the most likey cause right now i change thenm all zzp makes money mechanics make money and iam happy with a wicked running car. if i was'nt so busy at work i would have had that motor out already by myself.

Labours going to be my only major cost at worst but my boss part owns that company thats looking at the engine so i'll get charged a pretty cheap rate or next to nothing.
