Hatterasguy,

R&R the engine ibearings sn't to much of a job, getting, the oil pan off is the hardest past. For a 126, I don't know if the engine has to be removed to remove the oil pan. Maybe someone else here on the board knows.

But its not a $4000 job unless the crankshaft is damaged. Get some estimates before you start.

Are you going to tell the potential buyer about the metal filings in the filter?
