I was told that the number one cylinder in my 1995 Saturn is shot, is it worth repair and how would i do it?

Question

the Previous owner did not check or change the oil very often and now it makes a sound that isnt healthy!

Answer 1

get some help identifying what/how exactly is it busted...hair line fracture, engine block ruptured...etc...ussually you'd do better repairing if its a minor job, anything major an you might as well get a new engine because even though they could get it fixed its integrity and overrall tension stregth is reduced..over time, the same thing will happe again

Answer 2

Depends on the extent of damage, a machine shop could look at it for you and see if they are able to rebore it and put oversize pistons(Do the whole engine) in it, also a cracked piston may be your problem, an 1995 is an old car, maybe your better just getting a new block from GM if the rest of the car is good!

Answer 3

if the previous owner did not maintance his car on time,DO NOT spend anymore money on it.it will drain your wallet so fast.
