The #2 piston in my 2000 2.5L broke a few months ago, with only around 170,000 miles on it. I'm not sure what happened exactly, but the piston hit the head and munched both plugs pretty bad. The piston is cracked all the way across. A re-manufactured long block is a bit out my price at the moment. I was considering getting an engine out of a recycling yard for $700 that comes with whatever hasn't been picked off of it, but that just seems like it could end up like a bad deal. Maybe I'll pull it apart and see if it's worth rebuilding, if that's even possible.
Anyone have any suggestions?
