Do you have any legal recourse when the seller didn't disclose a known engine problem even though you signed an As-Is contract?

Yes, depending on how long you have ownwed the vehicle and so long as you can prove that the fault was there when you purchased the vehicle and that the Dealer knew this.
WELL, YOU HAVE A COUPLE OF PROBLEMS. FIRST IS THE "BUYER BEWARE" ISSUE IF THE VEHICLE WAS SOLD BY A "FRIEND" AND HE/SHE IS NOT A CERTIFIED MECHANIC, WHO INSPECTED THE VEHICLE, AND CLAIMES IGNORANT TO UNDERLYING CONDITIONS, THEN THE CAR IS "YOURS". ON THE OTHER HAND "DEALER BOUGHT VEHICLES" IN MOST STATES WOULD HAVE INSPECTED IT, AND YOU HAVE A SHOT. BUT IF YOUR STATE HAS A LEMON LAW THAT DOES NOT COVERS "AS IS" CONTRACTS THEN YOUR STUCK. CHECK YOUR STATE LAWS!!
