Buick Century

External Since: Jul 05, 2007 Posts: 2

I have an '87 Century, got it for free. Replaced the water pump,
thermostat, put a new muffler and tailpipe on it. It overheated two
weeks ago, didn't start till the next day and now has a bad knock
when I accelerate. It changes gears fine, but I had metallic flakes
in my oil. Don't want it to be a rod! If thats it where do I get a
motor? I'm in VA and theres none here.
