Answer
Hi Jerry,

You wouldn't, you'd just replace the engine.

Sorry if that sounds 'cold', but the vehicle is not worth the effort it would take to locate that piece used as you'd never find it new and the labor to install it in a tired motor would be pointless. You are replacing a weak part, that broke FOR A REASON, with a strong part that is going to make all the parts that rely on that piece to become weaker and break prematurely.

If the vehicle means that much to you, search out a good used but low mileage engine assembly and replace it as a whole. Believe it or not it will probably end up being the less expensive route.

Looking for a reputable service technician? My advice on finding a good technician is: Steer clear of the dealership and 'chain' stores like Firestone, Sears, Pep Boys, Monro Muffler/Brake, Midas, etc. as they usually only employ ONE ASE Certified Tech just so they can say they do and chances are, that guy is the asst. manager or manager and is not in the store to diagnose/repair vehicles anyway. Find a service location in the link below or get some names out of the yellow-pages and do a drive-by. Garages that employ ASE Certified Technicians will be marked with the 'Blue-Seal' insignia. If unsure about whether a place employs Certified Techs, just ask to see their credentials. ALL ASE Certified Technicians will be PROUD to show and display their certificate(s).

Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
