Befoe buying a long block, why not pull the pan and check things out. The low compression may be from a blown head gasket. If the bottom end checks out ok, then pull the head and check out the gasket and the valves. Not out any money that way.

Uhm... Nothing? its the same engine.

As far as tools, full set of metric from 10-22 in wrenches and sockets. Pliers/Screw Drivers/Hammer/Breaker Bar/ Cheater Bar/ Engine Hoist etc.

I would replace the timing belt and water pump since the motor is out and easy to access. Though if it is from a running car nothing is "necessary." It just depends on if you know where the motor is from and how well it was taken care of before coming into your possession. If I have the motor sitting there, I would replace anything maintenance-wise I could. I.e. gaskets, timing belt, water pump, all timing components, etc.

You ran the car out of oil, it has a loud knock now, and you think "shavings" flowed out with the oil..... and you don't want to pull the oil pan to see how much damage you have?

What am I missing here?

This is hilarious

If you're looking at swapping the engines out, it can be done within a day no problem just depends on how many bumps come along the way. The worst to deal with if you're taking the engine and tranny out together which it seems most people recommend, is to get the axles out of the way. After the axles are out of the make sure you label everything and where every bolt/wire/sensor/small baby goes and then just pull it right out and drop another one in it's place. If you want to do everything correctly, then the timing belt and water pump should really be swapped out.

Judging by your video, I would put money on it being in your bottom end man.

Sorry, I'm new. I don't see a video anywhere. Is this something he shared with you personally?
