I'm looking for ideas on a $1k Montero Craigslist purchase. This vehicle has been in my driveway for a few months and its time to see if I can get it runnin' for my two teen drivers. I'm not an expert, just looking for a cool vehicle for my kids to drive locally. The engine is 'knockin' below. The guy I bought it from had it for about 15 years and he did a timing belt job - I think that's what screwed the engine. Are any of you savvy on engines that would work for around $3k? I'm in over my head. Trying to get this thing runnin' for my kis.

These engines commonly have noisy Valve Lash Adjusters (Lifters). I was quoted about $2800 for a rebuild on my engine after I had pulled it. I ended up putting in a good used engine instead.
