depends how long it takes to burn the oil... if it runs good and you need to put a qt in every 2 or 3 weeks.... screw it... drive it till it dies... if its burning a 1/2 a pan a week... then its a bit much... i would deff stay away from junkyard engines... we've done 2 at my shop for cheapos that dont wanna pay that had to come back out and get replaced... we actually did an insurance claim for a guy that bottomed out with a jeep liberty and cracked the oil pan and seized the motor.... well we put a used one in... it comes back 3 months later with a terrible rod knock.... so they get another used motor and we put it in... but this is the last one that the insurance comany is covering... and they only pay us once to put it in.... bull ****!!!.... but yea... used motors are like anything else... you have no idea what you are getting... see if jasper makes replacment longblocks... probably get one for like $1000 or so... if they make it... i may be able to get you one through my shop and get some money off... but id have to talk to my boss... we are a certified jasper dealer.... now your scaren me... im gonna check my oil in the morning hahah... but im dohc... maybe no problem...
