Bad Engine

My 2001 Civic which I purchased new let me down the other day for the very first time. We have traveled almost 296,000 miles together so I cant really complain. My engine is shot.. My question is .. does anybody know where I can buy a japanese used engine.. has anybody ever done this? Was it worth it.. I love my car, would love to get it back on the road. I have meticulously maintained it, still looks good. Just put 4 new Michelins on it 2 weeks ago.. Appreciate any thoughts or ideas.. I'm in N CA... Jim

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Re: Bad Engine

Time to let 'er go and get something newer IMO. 16 years and 300K miles...
You got your money's worth. It might be hard to part with it but it does not have feelings.
