My post is the previous one. What I meant to say is that the condition of my car is identical to the one described, the symptoms are not identical. I am mainly asking if a late model motor will go into a '99 Concours. I really hate to lose the rest of the car if I need HG's and paying the dealer $5,500 to do it makes keeping the car a tough decision if the motor / block is likely to fail again due to the serts. They're quoting 35 hours labor and $1,900 in parts to sert all 20 holes.
