All fixed. Used engine with 75k, new gaskets and seals, a new engine mount, new clutch, new hoses, new timing belt, water pump, oil change, fluids etc. Car is running like champ.

The mechanic says piston #4 is broken and as a result a bunch of other stuff is broken too. I need a new engine. It will cost $1500 to $2000.
