Re: GMC Canyon 3700, 5 cyl low oil pressure

I got good news and terrible news. The good news is that I changed the oil with an engine flush and the oil pressure light hasn't come back on. I changed the exhaust cam solenoid and fixed the P0014 code. But I had a mechanic check it to see if the timing chain needed to be changed due to a slight rattling noise and he called me and said the inside of the engine was dirty and rusty and wasn't worth fixing. He recommends replacing or overhauling the engine, both options are too expensive, $6-8k. I can get a used engine for $2500 and pay about $1300 to have it swapped. My thoughts are to go ahead and replace the timing chains, clean it up as much as possible, and just drive it. Any suggestions? Thanks.
