I have another post that explains a little about whats wrong with it. And bob it has a 2.4L in it, if I do need to put a new motor in it should I put another 2.4 in it or should I go with the V6.

I think the 6g72 (3.0L) is a total peice of shit. Unless its from a 3000gt, VR4, GTO, etc. or the 6g74 (3.5L)from one of these... dont even bother.

Its the same engine basically but different internals, yes the piston are a pisses of shit but the rest isnt that bad so i think your wrong on saying that their pieces of shit.

True true but replace some of the internals and its sorta worth having if u want to put the money it.. im not going to lie its easier to go with the 4cyl than the v6 but im just saying.. me i would rather do the time in the v6 but thats me not everyone else.
