By loud crankshaft noise, I take it you mean a rattle / knocking sound? I woulp prefer you have your own engine rebuilt, with a reground crank, new main and big-end bearings. An engine replacement should be as a last resort.

And yes, Hyundai and Kia share most engine and transmission parts. Sensors? That shouldn't be an obstacle - simply transfer the ones over from the old engine, to the new one.

What's stopped working? The little red blinking LED in the inner door panel, or the alarm / security system itself? Does your car have remote arming / locking / unlocking, or do you have to use the key in the driver's door?

Hello sienna...
Pls i need ur sincere advice...
i just got a 2008 kia cerato but just found out the engine smokes but not so much... just little..
Was told to remove the engine and replace it with a mazda 626 engine....

others said i should simply get another kia engine.. (very ezpensive .. about 500k

Cause i also learnt that kia cerato engines a difficult to repair or are probably not repairable....

its a very fragile engine. If it has had severe overheating in the past, best to replace. The 626 option is a killer move, after replacing it, it's down hill from there.

I have been a fan of Nairaland for quite some time now. Off all the threads I happen to have latched on to, I have not seen any discussion on the conversion of car engines. Can Nairalanders kindly educate some of us of the possibility of converting a V6 engine to a 4 cylinder engine. If conversion is possible, what are the likely problems one would experience in due course?
Very possible. Especially with a manual transmission

Can it be repaired? or its just simply to replace

I visited Benin last week and I came accros a Nissan Murano 3.5L which was converted to run on Toyota Sienna engine and transmission.

I have a 2008 model Nissan Pathfinder which I am wondering if it can be converted to run a Toyota Sienna 3.5 liter engine and transmission.

Any ideas, if this is possible

Best option:
Sell the one with you, add the money you want to use for conversion and buy a stock v6
