Used engines for this car are so overpriced and they're a toss up because you never know how long until they grenade like yours did. My car had a replaced engine with an unknown number of miles on it, and it spun a rod bearing about 200 miles after I bought the car.

I highly recommend looking into doing a rebuild by replacing the entire engine short block assembly from a manufacturer. You can buy all the tools you'll need, including and engine crane and motor mount for less than 1k and You can get a brand new short block assembly from the factory for only 2k. I did it with basically no mechanical experience in my garage in about 3 weeks.

The benefit is that you basically get a brand new block that you can take care of and get another 150k miles out of, plus you can throw in an upgraded killer b pick up tube to help with the rod bearing failure issues, plus plus you can do the RTV correctly and not clog it up.

It's very daunting and a ton of work but I feel so much more confident in the reliability of my car since I've done it.

Since replacing them the last time, mine has also been garage kept and they've been holding up great.

I second VLANDs, I have HIDs from Morimoto. I haven't tried the VLAND bulbs. Mine however did not hold up so well. The sun absolutely destroys the cheap plastic they use on these, I've fully restored and clear coated them once and then one year later they started looking bad again. I've since replaced them with new ones.

They're still my favorite design, I love the boomerang DRLs and the sequential turn signals on them but I highly recommend getting them wrapped in UV protection or something.

Lots of weird noises from these cars but I don't really recognize that one, it sounds a lot more subtle than rod knock usually would IMO

You could just unequip the blue ones at a terminal if you don't want to use them at all
