    I'm not sure where we are going from here...but I think my time as a VehiCross owner is very limited.

    99 Astral 105k miles (I think)
    Wow, thats gotta hurt. I have only about 50k on my 83k VX

    I think turning it off when you first heard the knock, would have still probably been too late.

    Is the 8900 for a short block or long block?

    I honestly don't know. he said the price and I moved on.
    Out of curiosity what is the difference between the short and long block?
    I found this on ebay wonder if it would work...still not sure what I'm doing.
