I have 190.000 miles on my car need a engine replaced. Dealer qoute 5900.

Cylinder #3 rod failure rod bearing. This is what I was told.

Anything is possible... It's just that I've seen that 2.2 engine go 350,000 on a regular basis with no problem!.. It's a tough little engine but....Stuff happens!... Is the car in good shape otherwise?

Can you explanation what that means in what happen to engine. Sorry don't know much about cars.

Normally rod bearing failure is due to lack of oil or over revving but not limited to that!... Can't advise over the Internet! It needs to be disassembled and inspected to determine the cause.... Good luck with it!

I always check my oil and have it change every 3 months or 3000 - 4000 miles.
