A week ago, she told me her car was making a funny noise. I took it for a ride and noticed a knocking around 2K rpms and then it'd stop. I figured she spun a rod bearing so I told her she shouldn't really drive it too much and to take it REAL easy if she has to because I don't care for wrenching during New England winters.
Anyway, she needed to go to the grocery store and I wasn't home. She got a few miles from the house and it seized. I've yet to tear into it but it's not turning over and makes a nasty grinding noise when the key is turned.
I was thinking that it also might be the timing belt but since it was knocking the way it was, I doubt it...
For what I can get another motor for, I'd rather just drop another one in rather than dick around with this one. Hell, I've seen motors go for a little more than what it would cost to buy parts for the 60K maint on my Eclipse.
