My 2018 JLU Sahara's 2.0 engine is bad. Pulled #2 cylinder plug and found the end of it damaged. I checked cylinder with a borescope and found top of the piston gone! Looking for a replacement engine. Any recommendations?

A new crate engine from Mopar is $6500- the same price as the reman. Easy enough to just drop in a new engine.

Americas Most Wanted sells take out engines when they do the conversion to V8. They offered me $3000 for my engine transmission and transfer case with 14000 miles and in perfect oil change record.

any change the engine could be cross referenced to another vehicle? Using only the lower half.

139,000 miles. Daily driver, 100 miles per day back and forth to work.
Wow. I wouldn't even call that a lot of miles. I'm really curious what caused the failure. That's worrisome
