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.

 

put a magnet on it to see what it is.

 

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

 

That's the plan drive it until it blows Lol

 

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

 

we are currently shopping for a used motor lqk has one with 84000 thousand miles on it for $1315.00 also have one with 114 thousand for $1150.00 a friend of ours knows a guy who has an HHr graveyard. he is checking on a engine for us.

 

Found a guy with a hhr graveyard he has an engine for $400.00 plus $400.00 to install it.

 

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.
