I HAVE AN 87 230 TE AUTO ESTATE AND THE ENGINE DIED WITH A LOUD BANG AND MUCH RATTLING! CON ROD BUSTED AND BIG HOLE IN THE BLOCK! DONT ASK ME HOW....IS THIS UNCOMMON AS THE MOTOR WAS OILED AND WATERED AND HAS DONE 130 THOU APPARENTLY GENUINE? ANY SUGGESTIONS ON FINDING A GOOD USED ENGINE AS THE CARS TOO GOOD TO SCRAP! BUT I DONT WANT TO GET BITTEN BY ANY SHARKS IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. ANY ADVICE WILL BE GLADLY RECIEVED.
