I was out at the market, when I came out and started the car, I heard a little pop.
As soon as that happened, the car started to run bad and backfire. I limped the car home.
I'm assuming the plastic guides broke. This means oil pan will need to be pulled also. (I have a leaky oil pan BTW)
Mechanic thinks the best way to attack this repair is to pull the engine entirely.
Labor amount is $1300 for repair, not including parts. Does this seam reasonable?
