This what a saturn dealer saids. Cost of repairs is $3000.00 for cylinder head, gasket and spark plugs to make the engine runs smooth and not stall.
Is this a right price
Does it make sense to replace the whole engine with a rebuil one
what happens if i do nothing

thanks

I think I would get an estimate on a jasper engine.

They are well built and have a 3-year/100,000 mile warranty.

That is about the price I would expect from the dealer.
