ill agree 2that. but they handle 10times the abuse of any ecowreck.
my advice is, buy a engine that can be seen and heard running. or rebuild 1 while your car is still on the road and drivable. cheap and easy enough to do

how was it cheaper, i know insurance companies are professional crooks that draw numbers out a hat for a living but how do they manage that? what size was it before? and did your road tax gan up?
