Good luck man, I’ll never buy a Saturn but I have to say I like them for some unknown to me reason.

> I’m pretty sure it’ll be more than a $50 fix. I have all the tools here. I’m going to keep the car around and just keep it stock for a DD over winter/when its shitty out. I’ll call M&M on Monday and go from there. I was told I could probably rebuild the engine for about $500 in parts though. I’ll give an update when the work will be done and this time will probably post in the DIY section.

Yeah just go to M&M, find a dohc thats smashed and has the fewst miles. Theyll give you an orange cone to put on the car you want the motor out of. They usually have it ready next day. The reason i say find a smashed/wrecked car is that you dont want to grab a motor thats blown. they also have batteries up front that you can borrow if you want to make sure the motor turns over. dont over do it with the cranking though, none of them have gas, oil, or coolant.

Depends if the crank is damaged or not. Could be cheap to fix, could be expensive depending on the damage.

If it’s just bearings only at that point it’s cheap. Anything beyond that M&M is the place to go.

After reading only the subject:

“Thats what she said”

As for a broken saturn, melt it and make some food storage containers.

Might be worth shopping a new motor, if it is reasonable I would go that route.
