Cracked Block!
ok guys, heres whats up, my car was leaking oil the other day, so i took it to this one place called import auto service........they told me it was leaking oil....i was like....umm...NO SHIT, where is it comming from and can you fix it, they told me they didnt wanna touch the car. So i took it to this other place and they guy told be that the block was cracked and it looked like it was cracked before, cause the guy who owned the car before me tried welding it up or something and it didnt hold. So now i have 2 options....a rebuilt engine for about $1500 or a brand new block for about $3500, the good news is i already went to my bank and got a $6000 loan to fix it. what do you guys think i should do ? Keep in mind, ive already replaced sooooooo mych shit on this engine already

I got mine on 3si. But you can find 91-92 engines all the time on ebay for around 600-700.
