So a friend of the family that just graduated from auto tech school told me that my engine might not be totally f***ed like the dude from the repair shop told me, but this is also coming from someone that tried to mount a Civic's CAI on a 93 Saturn SC2 10 years ago (also tried to fit it on our Talon). So idk wtf to believe at this point.
I'm still probably gonna end up (when I find a job) getting a new engine and a rebuild kit. Either way, I still have my gf's mom's car for a DD.
(sorry for randomness :lol
