I bought it used and I’m starting to see some issues pop up that make me think it wasn’t taken care of real well. I’m not sure if it was overheated before or not. And I feel like for an extra $1k I won’t have to worry about it or any other potential problems hanging around.
He said he didn’t think it was worth it to do just that due to the cost. He thought he could do both for around $1500’ish. He had to check prices in the fans. But for $1500 more I get a whole engine. Hard not to think that is the better choice.

It really depends on where it hit under your car. When i had my mustang there was a car door laying in the middle of the road and i hit it doing 80 and it stuck under my car. I had to have a tow truck lift me up so we could get it out. Aside from a few scratches it didnt do any damage at all.
