My girlfriend blew her engine. Got way too hot and now has no more than 60psi in each cylinder.

It is a 1.6 liter engine. I've considered putting in a 2.0liter if it's not more trouble to do. I also considered the sr20...is it any different from the 2.0liter?

What options do I have on engines? She's not into power, and was happy with the 1.6, so I'm not gonna go out of my way to upgrade it.

Where can I get a good engine? what should I expect to pay?

thanks for any advice. Feel free to email me...just don't give me a subject line I'll mistake for solicitation or I'll delete it out of habit.

if shes not power hungry, stick with a ga16de engine. it wouldnt have any problems dropping in. the 2liter is the sr20 btw.

That's kinda what I'm thinking. Do you know of any good place to get an engine? Local yards here typically want a minimum of $600 for ANY engine.

That's a possibility. Where is the leak, and how far are you from Knoxville, TN?

How many miles?
What kind of condition?
history of engine?

go to importautosalvage.com, they have complete ga16de for about 400 shipped. usually with less than 60k miles on the motor.

i couldnt tell you where the leak is. i have never checked since it really is not something i am too worried about. i just check it at about 1000 miles after an oil change..most of the time i add 1/4 quart if any at all. it's weird, soemtimes i have to add some, other times not. it has 115,xxx miles. if by history you mean have there been any problems, there have been none at all. i am in spartanburg, south carolina. i am not sure how far it is from knoxville though. i know it is 2-3 hours from gatlinburg. if you are interested let me know. if we work out a deal i would be willing to meet you halfway. if not, i understand.
