Starter and radiator are < 1 year old. Will do the timing belt and water pump (30K miles) as well as the engine mounts. Mechanic is looking locally for a good looking 3.4L rather than going JDM but its still an option unless we can't find something.
Rally appreciate this forum. I'm almost 31...
In the same situation as the OP, 98 blew an engine and I think I’m going to put a JDM in it. Haven’t sourced it yet but it makes the most sense to me. Anything else I should consider getting done or checking while the engine is out? 300k on it and I’ll be having someone else do the change.
