Replacement engine will be alot cheaper and quicker solution. If its run low on oil then it would have run the crank, poss damage to rods and also bores. Have stripped a fair number that have been run low on oil.

Just ensure the engine you buy has all its engine numbers and that they havent been tampered with.

You need 2007 onwards engine wise.

Engine swops take us about 5 hours if everything comes undone and that includes balancing the throttle bodies etc. Ideally if you get a loose motor its worth checking the valve clearances before installing it as its alot easier on a loose motor.
