i just got a price quote from rising sun today they want $2 grand for a reman with all new everything and its a long block, so i guess i will go that route

the blown motor had 144k on it ive had the VX since june first and changed the oil 2wice since then after only putting 4500 miles on, i changed the oil the day after i brought it home because i had no baseline as to when it was done just the sellers word.

i had the cruise set on the highway when it happened so im not sure of rpm and also i had the radio up so i didnt notice any excess noise
