    I'd suggest delete the phone number, wait for responses to your post, or private messages. Just not good to have your phone number (or email) displayed in an open forum.

    Good luck with your engine swap!

    I'm in Philadelphia too, and my engine hasn't blown up yet, but it will be blowing up soon. I know that sounds absurd, but I can't find a local shop that is willing to repair it. It's about the court every thousand miles and has a bad valve tap. It's worth noting that it has 220,000 miles on it now, and the valve type has been there since 50,000. The eating oil, is new...

    The point of all that is for you to share if you find a local shop they can work on these cars.

    don't they have Prius engines on EBay relatively low cost?
