Hi i have a 99 olds Alero. recently my engine started to knock. I had it brought to my mechanic who told me its a connecting rod or a Bearing in the engine in cylinder 3 or 6. He put in thicker oil for now and the knock isnt as bad.
I want to know if it would be worth putting a used engine in to replace the one now. My mechanic who is a family friend said if i can get an engine he will swap it out for me and it would cost me $200-$300 in labor. Maybe even less since he would have me help him.
would it be worth swapping it? if so anyone know any good places to get either a cheap car with the same engine or an engine already out in MA?
Thank you
