Anyone order from rockauto.com?
Has anyone had any experience with this web site? They seem to be one of the only sites that has everything I need to overhaul my sister-in-laws 95 Saturn. Its burning alot of oil and the SOHC Saturn engines are famous for broken rings after 100,000 miles.

I've ordered from them many times. They have great prices and super fast shipping. If you do some searching I'm sure you can find a 5% discount code. I'd give you mine but it experied on 2/1/04.

Rock auto....rocks!
Nothing but good experience with them
Saturn on the other hand... sucks!
My wife's old POS SC2 was warrantied for top end at 20k miles. Rings, etc...
Same thing at 50k. Crappy service. Would not stand by a known problem.
Really soured me on the whole Saturn thing. So now I just tell everyone I know that Saturn sucks.

Re: Anyone order from rockauto.com? (Z-PDX)
Thanks to all that replied. I will place my order as soon as I get the head removed and inspect the cyl. bores. The big problem with Saturn engines is the block is aluminum with very thin iron liners in the bores. The liners really aren't thick enough to overbore properly. If the taper and out of round dimensions are beyond limits, you're pretty much screwed and its cheaper to get another block than pay for new liners to be installed.
