Morton IL. I was at 23K/offer stock without all the parts. Now I am in waiting mode.
Dont ask me what I was doing / how I did this... But during my return to stock work I was taking a plug out and part of the ceramic broke and fell into cylinder. Big chunk actually...... Talked to a garage that does lots of engine replacement and he said 1-1.5K for them to put junk yard motor in OR pull head and clean ceramic out. Same price. Found low mile motor out of MKS nearby. Going to cost a few I dont have but such life + it is my own dumbass fault.
SO 43K on the car but the motor will be more like 20

that and I will try to make some of the expense back with parts from my motor. Turbo, heads, acesc, whatever. I will start posting what I have taken off in the parts section now and post the rest when the swap is done.
Yes the wife is pissed... Really pissed.... Most pissed she has ever been....
