Changed oil in the 07 hhr 2.2 engine today has about 150 thousand miles on it we found some metal shavings in the filter. Guess it's time to look for a used engine or trade it off the car runs good motor doesn't smoke or make any noise.

If it's not knocking or making nasty noises, no smoke, drive it!

I thought that at 63,000 miles, it's still going at 227,500 miles. No boom yet!

Did yours give up? If not, spend the $800.0 and have yours rebuilt for a spare!

Before I rashly replaced the engine, even at that great price, I would make sure it is metal in the oil not shiny bits of oil additives.

Are you going to keep him a secret, or can you share his contact info?
I imagine a couple of people might be interested in talking to him.
