I'm curious...

With or without the mini-hibernation, you've implied your car was regularly serviced. I don't see how your engine would just go kaboom. Going 1k miles past an oil change/service interval won't do that, at least for sure not under normal usage.
  • When was the last time your car got serviced?
  • What service was performed last time?
  • You drive your car rough all the time?
  • What were you doing right before it started knocking?

Are those "out the door" prices or just the engines?

Anyway, best of luck OP.
