The junkyard said "probably $300" when I asked them a couple of weeks ago.
I would love to just drop in a new piston/rod. Especially if I don't have to pull the shortblock or drop the crank to do it.
I'm just not sure if the cylinder wall and crank journal are still good.~Austin

i can garuntee the crank journal will have to be resized and polished and you'll have to run under sized bearings for at least that cyl.
have you pulled the other 3 cyl to inspect the condition of the bearings and rods?Trees aren't kind to me...

The cylinder wall is damaged. It has gouges in it towards the bottom.
I'm just going to get a new engine.~Austin

And it is now running perfect!
Smooth idle, no smoke, lots of power.
I think everything in the engine bay is good.
I want to thank everyone here for your help and input and for putting up with me when I get frustrated at this little Asian car.
I will try to come to Festiva Madness (that's the one in October in N.C., right?)
And I'd be up for a mini-meet in the DFW area if anyone around here is interested.~Austin
