engine

Well i talked to my uncle about this camaro hes got, and well he had his wisdom teeth pulled today and he was a bit grouchy but anyways he said, "there something wrong with it".. hes kinda smart with cars so its not like he needs to change the oil or soemthing. :P . I know the original engine was replaced, and know i think it needs to be replaced again. Its the 2.8 or .9 L v6, is there something that could be chewing up the engine or is it poor mateinence of the car? thx

Four-7,

What's wrong with the engine? That will be a good clue as to what could be done differently. Lot's of 2.8 V-6s run for 200,000 miles.

my great uncle has a chevy celebrity thats got i think 210,000 miles, but its only a v4, what a crusin machine! .. but anyways the guy with the camaro, my unlce, he used to drink alot, so who knows what he did with it, over reving it and whatnot.. i dunno.. it sits in his garage now, hes got a f150 that runs good. i just gotta get the right front tire pumped up and take it for a quick cruise, so i can see how it purrs, hopefully the darn thing will start
