Engine Fail.......need some advice

[hatyy]

I never thought it would happen ................ my clio is nearly dead...........

Just put it in the garage when a strange noise came out from the engine .......the problem is a valve ......but still don't know if it's a bent valve or a broken valve spring..


now ...I'm considering an eventual rebuild of the top of the engine .......but don't know if it would cost me more than just swapping in an another one .....

fact is that I'd like to sell the clio ....so asking you which would be the better solution ......open my engine or just swap another one ...


thanks ...

If your looking for a quick sale I'd get a new one. Depends whether your rebuilding it yourself or getting it done professionally. If your doing it yourself you might have some sort of liability (not sure on that, please correct if I'm wrong). But it would most likely be the cheaper option.

Do neither. Just break the car if your not wanting to keep it.
