but to me it kind of seems pointless to try to do a tune up to an engine that has just about had it...Your engine will last you another 6 months or so till you are able to get a new engine...Now lets be reasonable here, all the money your spending on your "BLOWN" engine you could of been close to half way there on getting a new one or rebuilt engine....If my engine was about to go to the "GRAVE" then I would not put anymore money into it, instead I would go ahead and save up and get a whole new engine or rebuilt engine which would more than likely be alot less money than trying to keep it running till you have the money for a new one or rebuilt one....
I am sorry if I sounded a little rude but take it how you like it...This is just my opinion!
hey, I asked For help, if I wanted to argue or fight people's opinion I wouldn't ask, so I expect to get your opinion and thats what you gave, so thank you
...now for a few ignorant-girl-who-loves-cars-but-don't-know-much-about-em' ?s
Is there a chance that my engine will hold out for another 6 months to a year without doing anything to it? OR a chance that by doing these things (tuneups) it could last much longer than expected?
Also the replacement engine will cost me serious money since I can't do it myself & don't know anyone who can give me a great deal, I'm looking at around $2,000 to get a good engine, installation and all that I should do at the same time (clutch, timing belt, etc) to avoid extra hell later. So $150 isn't close to what i'm looking at paying to get the job done so that was my reasoning-which I'm not sure is right at all but thats why i'm askin...thanks again.
