Hello all!
I have come to report that my 3.0 3vze has a hole on the side of the block. For some sort of reason my buddy and I still somehow were able to get the engine running, lmao it's crazy. I just wanted to ask how to move forward on this matter because I've already started to part out the vehicle. Honestly, I'm just grasping at anything to see if I can still save it. Thinking about just finding a replacement block but keeping everything else considering all my other components are still good. I'm not that mechanically inclined yet so I don't even know if my problem can be solved by just replacing the block. I don't have a ton of money to buy a new engine like a 22re so that's why I'm writing this post. I'd also like to add, I was wondering If I can put a cheap 4 banger just so I can try and keep it alive until I can upgrade it.
Hopefully, I can get some replies so I can make a better judgment on my future decisions.
