unfortunately, it is. lots of metal in the oil, according to dealer. looks like something caused it to burn 1qt of oil in 3k miles.

now, i need to decide whether im better off selling it w/ a blown engine or getting it replaced.

Sorry to hear that. Used motors in good shape can run up to $1700. Make sure to have a water pump and galley gaskets installed before they put it in the car. Just a little insurance.

or the op could do what i did and just get a motor that is from 2012 model year and up. that way you don't have to open up anything on the motor, just install and enjoy.

You take all the fun out of it. I love cracking motors open.
