Is this the end br/o/s? Parents said they'd spot me 400 for a new engine if I didn't want to sell it.

>Is this the end br/o/s? nah dude. If the bottom end ain't knocking you're golden. Top it up, and run that fucker into the ground.
Jose Watson
forgot to mention I bought the cheapest walmart oil after discovering it was without oil today. Figure there's no sense in buying good oil if it's just gonna burn it.

If it is burning oil then just keep topping it up with whatever and run it to the ground.
I had a 1.6 Astra that drank it like a fucking fish (litre every hundred miles or so) and you had to clean the spark plugs every time you topped it up as they got clogged and it hardly ran. I used to run it on Tesco Value 20w50 and it ran like that for about 4 months until I traded it in.
When the plugs were clean, it ran fine. Didn't even knock / rattle, in fact it sounded fine hence why the guy took it as part ex without question

Austin Russell
I forgot to mention I needed to change the oil completely not just top it off. Oh and my clutch is going out
Luis Diaz
if you bought the walmart brand (supertech) it's actually decent oil
Ian Stewart
Here's a video of all the damn smoke it's blowing. Wonder how much oil I'll have to buy to keep it fed till tax season. Wonder if I can put the engine swap down as vehicle maintenance on my taxes.

Just had it changed yesterday. They tried to sell me a coolant flush for 150$ even though I had to replace the whole coolant system and flushed it less than 2 years ago.
