My friend blew her engine in her 00 Impala. All I know is it'* a V6. What motor is in teh car a 3.4? Anyone know a good place to buy one?
Thanks

Base or LS?
If base - 3.4
if LS - 3800 L36.

Will have to ask. WOW thanks for the fast reply.

That'* Will for ya, he LIVES on this site

more than likely due to LIM gasket failure resulting in milkshake like oil causing...your problem. it isn't really the engine itself at fault, it'* the poor design of the stock LIM gasket (which have been revised). this is in regards to the 3400 btw.

Wow I think I should listen when women talk lol. The car is a 2000 Malibu not Impala lol. Her mechanic says $3600 tio fix it, parts and labor. Not sure if this means a new engine or just a short block.

The Malibu has a 3.1 V6 if I remember rightly.

same engine really, just smaller pistons. both are prone to the same LIM gasket problem. you can buy good runnning ~50,000 mile 3400s or 3100s for less than $500. $3600 is crazy. a 3400 would drop right in place of the 3100
