Message	I recently blew my motor in my 92 TT on the way to San Diego. I had it towed to Mossy Nissan in El Cajon CA. The told me that I warped my heads and may have damaged the block itself. The price they gave me for a motor and installation was around $10,500. There is no way I can afford that. Does anyone have any information on a trustworthy source were I can purchase another TT motor and or heads that won't cost me an arm and a leg to get. Thanks guys
