I found an engine in a local junkyard (67k) for 500, but it only comes with a 30 day warranty. Is it worth it to go 60-70 miles and pay another 100 to get one with a 90 day warranty, or is there no difference between the two warranties (if it works it works)? Any advice, thanks.....

History if available, miles etc. It very well could be worth it for the warranty. Generally is good it's good but 30 days may not show all flaws if any. Lots depends on the skills of the tech(S) doing the swap. Go for exact engine! The wrong one can cause a real bad hair day!

All junkyard warranties will usually get you is more junk. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
