1994 Bonneville SSEi
I have a 1994 Bonneville SSEi and i am having engine problems-It makes a very loud rattling noise when running-It has been sitting for about a year and a half i was told the engine was shot because the longers bearings were shot-I was thinking of just buying a used engine but I dont know what to do
Anything suggestions?

My suggestion is to check the face of the harmonic balancer for cracks. Especially if the rattle goes away as you roll into the throttle.
Typical failure on a car of that age. Especially after sitting unused.

Did you check the harmonic balancer yet? We need to know. When they go bad like the picture above, they will sound like a bad knock at idle
