He probably said bearings and I said pistons.
What the hell do I know?
I am not into car speak,
Well a muffler bearing is to a car what felopin tubes are to a old style radio, all tech talk....
Does that help at all?

only if they fix it right my experiance with my own stuff while trying to save a buck has been making noise because of a spun rod bearing if the rod's not replaced than in a few days the noises will be back who and how much to do it right given the age and abuse i would say you are dollars ahead to just replace the motor with a new one or a reman.Heat something up and bend it? Yikes.
If they actually do get this thing running for $450, you are one lucky gal.
For 450 he's not changing pistons or rods. Probably replacing every crank/rod bearing and maybe an oil pump. And heating up an exhaust pipe nad bending it. You got lucky kid. You saved a ton.
Next time, if any idiot line comes on, pull over, turn it off, immediately!
Isn't $450 about the going price of a flatulator rod?
The red ones are for off road only? No wonder my lawnmower cuts unevenly!

Fred, funny you should ask.Inquiring minds want to know - how did this turn out and what exactly did he replace?
I also think you must be psychicInquiring minds want to know - how did this turn out and what exactly did he replace?

I had a phone message when I got home from work tonight from Tim.
"Hello, Loralei, your car is done."
He called around 6-ish, so I'll call him back tomorrow morning and ask what the damage was (as in both total cost and detail of repair).
I take this as good news in a way, because it must be driving just fine, and nothing was wrong with the engine.
I'll call him back in the morning and let him know that I can be there to get it on Thursday.
Did he mean done as in Kaputs.....Dead!
Or did he mean done as in fixed?
Groomer.. good point. Never thought about it that way.
I hope it's done as in fixed.
Now the outcome is even more suspenseful.
I get paid good money to pick up on things like that everyday at work.
Great news for starting the New Year PG.
Before you bring it home get him to put a block under the gas pedal to slow you down a bit when in an emergency .
