I've been running my car back and forth to work for the past 3 months or so, and have been so busy I haven't checked the oil. I hear a ticking noise, and less than 100 miles later it shut off, and won't turn back on...seized up. I check the oil, and there's basically nothing showing on the dipstick.
I know I know, I'm an idiot. I've never had a problem with it burning oil in the past, and I've just been so busy I hadn't taken the time to check it. I feel like such a heel.
Anyhow, my question is what now? I'm on a budget, so how do I go about fixing this for the least amount possible? What's wrong with it, and what am I going to need? New valves/pistons? Ballpark figure, what am I looking at to fix it? Is it more economical to just find an 03/04 engine and swap it?
Feel free to poke fun of me, FML :bored:
