I am looking for a used 2.0L turbo protege engine or at least a used 2.0L
Since my last post i took the car to my mechanic who informed me i need to but an engine. whoever owned the car before apparently wasn't servicing it. So when he removed the engine cover to change the timing belt, he discover plenty sludge (or more like rubber it was that thick and hard) and realised it must have been in the sumpas well causing some blockage because the oil getting to the head was minimal and this caused the cam to wear the head and what i thought was pinging was actually the cams rattling.
he advised me to get an engine since i might have to overhaul the block as well as but a head, and buying an engine is a cheaper option.
Any suggestions as to where i can source one to be shipped to Barbados?
