well the knocking and skipping in the kia had metal shavings all in the cylinder so its screwed up. the walls are probably scarred and head too.

anyone know where i can get a good cheap kia motor, its the 3.5l and it seems like this motor was used in alot of models even hyundai so i know to check junk yard but other than thati dont know. its probably cheaper to buy a new van.

suks big time its my grandmother van she ran it without oil, for however long and now im screwed b/c i said id fix it.
