may want to get a second opinion; worst case he tell you the same thing, best case he finds and fixes things within your budget. Reconditioned drop ins and long/short blocks are other options. Blowby usually indicates the "end of life" on an engine - couple that with valve train noise(s) and you're on the last leg. Before you take it out, check you insurance policy for towing coverage and get the contact info for at least two service providers before you go. |
