First off Im new but I have a question. I have a 97 Cavalier that blew the motor. I talked to a Mechanic and he thinks I blew a hole in the #2 piston. I am considering replacing it with a Remufactured motor from Jasper Performance Engines, but it will cost $3200 dollars installed. The motor does come with a 3yr/75,000 mile warranty. The car itself has 123k miles and drive like a dream and ran great till it happened. I was wondering if there is any other places to get a reliable engine, and if it a good idea to go with the new motor for this car. I think the J body line of cars is wonderful this one is the 3rd J body Ive owned. Please help with my problem. thank you for any help.
if money aint an issue. do an engine swap at least a 2.4. or even an ecotec.
only other place that might have an engine for you is paceperformance.com

What modifications do you have that would blow a hole in a piston? I'd get a second opinion, that sounds like a pile of bull-dung.
