new engine needed

[emeny2]

i threw a rod in my 92 camry and put a hole in the block in the process. i have the 5s-fe with a 5speed and i was wondering if anyone knows where i can find one cheap and w/less than 100k on it?

Did you like actually throw a rod into the engine or did a rod break?
Let me guess it wasn't producing enough?

[emeny2]

i spun a bearing and didnt realize it until my rod broke off the crank shaft and put a hole in my block hitting my a/c compressor knocking it into my t-stat housing and bent the pully on the a/c compressor. but atleast it didnt blow up. but it all did happen on the expressway.

go to a good local mechanic shop. none of that car-part.com stuff.

actually i did find 2 engines in my area with 100k or less that were still in good running condition on car-part.com

If you're not in a rush, get a cheap old engine and rebuild it. That way you know exectly how good the engine is. You can also build it up a bit before putting it in
