Good Evening ,
To replace the engine with a rebuilt long block is 24 hours labor , it will come with all of the gaskets you need , but you will have ot buy things like spark plugs , fluid filters , a new water pump etc.

The computer has the engine in limp mode to keep the rpm's from going up. If...
