Now that Hyundai and Kia are basically the same company you'll find that they share lots of the same parts/motors in the cars..such as the Optima and the Sonata..the big thing about Kia is that they pick the company that'll build the cars for the cheapest (bidding) and then have that company supply the work for them making the cars.

if you're looking for a daily get a used car. or you could always take this time to decide if you want to keep building the civic or do something else.

I just feel like OEMs aren't that strong. Or maybe I'm doing it wrong :what:
i'd guess that you got unlucky and that your engine swap needed to be checked over ahead of time.

do you know what caused it to fail or just that it is broken? if you can find the reason you might save yourself some money down the road if there are multiple problems causing it. it could be cheaper just to get a new engine if you were really unlucky.

I'm starting to think my oil pump failed.
