Good morning Everyone ,I have a serious issue I need an opinion to make a decision .I got a car last week a Hyundai Elantra 2007 model and went to show my mechanic .have not noticed smoke from the engine ,but the mechanic said my crankshaft is bad ,that I should bring my engine so he will replace it with another customer who got a new engine because his engine was smoking....
My questions are as follows
1. Can I manage my engine till the end of the year and get a new engine at once despite the bad crankshaft .
2. Should I accept that other customers engine and allow him to rings it for me ?
3. Should I allow him to remove that customer crankshaft and replace it with my own ?
These are all the options I have and am beginning to be confused .
And if anyone has the price of the actual cost of a 2007 Hyundai Elantra can put me on notice pls ...
Thanks for your advice guys .

that engine is very pricey. try to avoid getting a new one if you can.

what makes an engine smoke is usually bad piston rings in the cylinder or bad valve seals in the head.

the crankshaft is an easy one off part to change in an engine. you should only need new gaskets, coolant and the replacement crankshaft for the job.

since the engine is not a cast iron type but aluminium you will need an expert hands in opening and closing it up according to strict manufacturer clearances and specification.

if you leave the bad crankshaft invthe engine it will affect your liftersband valves and affect engine power/performance greatly and a botched job will mean you buy a replacement engine sooner.

Bro as long as the car isn't smoking...dont touch the engine...just do your regular oil changes and continue to use the car until the engine breaks then you change it. Dont ever go into trying to repair an engine. Never do that.
