HEy i was wondering how hard is that to fix and how much?

It'll cost a bunch.. I had that happen in my old car, it screwed up the crankshaft too - needed a new one.. They replaced the rod bearings, crank, main bearings, and some other crap.. It would've been like $2400 in repairs or something like that, but I only paid $50 (thanks warranty!)

A new/used motor might very well be cheaper. There is a lot of parts and labour needed to fix your existing engine.

no it didnt it happen in a GSR block.
and to answer Aaron_909 it was due to high mile

may i ask how many miles were on it before it went?

This happened to me 2 days after i spent 850 on a head gasket replacement. The labor alone at the cheapest shop EVER was 1200, and theparts cost an arm and a leg. I just went with a new motor for cheaper.
