it could always be worse

make sure you know what caused it and what not to do cause it will happen with the next motor too if not.

Depending on how much that 30k mile motor costs I would just get it done the right way right now.

I always use to say yeah I can't afford that and do it the cheap way and then it ended up messing up and what do ya know the second time I could afford the real thing so the first time I could have definetaly afforded it.

Point is....do it right, do it the first time and do it once.

good luck

If you didn't hear anything funny did you check the map sensor and stuff first?

From what I was told, there was about 40k on the motor when iu bouight it. I put about 6K on it at the most and Ive had the car for almost a year. I also came to find out that a friend of mine knew the previous owner and he was spraying the motor and managed an 11.7 in the 1/4 mile which is great and everything, but not if you want a motor thats gonna last. So Im going with a used motor with 30k on it froma wrecked 97.
