Thanks for the encouragement! I'll think about it.

That's the thing. KBB says the most I could get out of my Prius would be $3,915 (highest Private Party at fair condition). Even in prestine condition the highest price would be less than $6,000. I don't know what the insurance company would give me if my car were totaled, but I doubt it would pay for a new battery and catalytic converter and semi-used engine I could put into it right now.

But yes, I've procrastinated in finding out how much damage has actually been done to the cylinder walls.

... I just ordered a cylinder scope. I got a set of new plugs too for the Prius, as well as an OEM wheel bearing. Time to tackle this and find out if it's worth fixing or not ...
