Q: Is there an engine that is compatiable with a 2010 suzuki grand vitara 4 cylinder engine?

asked by on August 22, 2017

My engine overheated and blew the heads. There's water in the oil, so its basically trashed. Is there an engine that's compatible with the old one that I could replace it with?

My car has 145000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
