Default need motor help

im looking for a new motor after i opened up my trx 3.3 and there was a bunch of broken metal parts at the bottom and there is no compression. im lookinh for a motor that is not too expensive but is reliable and is better than trx 3.3

Yes, the OS .18TZ is a great engine, a slight step up from the 3.3 actually. Which vehical is this going into?

That should work, but it'll require a new mount; there is a link on that page you showed us.

Also, since that is a big block, you may need to upgrade your drivetrain i.e. metal transmission gears, CVDs, etc.
