[Mystake]

let me put it into perspective...

400+tax got me an engine with 1/10th of the mileage of yours. Also you just said you rip the s**t out of it daily... not trying to be rude but at this point I wouldn't give you 50$ to take it away, I'd ask for 50$ from you to make it disappear, especially if it's the engine in your '01 (so it'd be a 10 year old engine)

If you think about it, Kona's engine probably had good compression and all that before it popped and had less mileage than yours did.

Then again, I could be 100% wrong and that engine could go for another 150 000km. I just don't think that's likely so if I were in your position with another engine waiting to go in I'd just pull it and give it away (or keep it and rebuild it)

Again, I'm sorry if this comes off rude or anything I promise you that's not my intention.
