hmm well couldn't you just take your engine out, rebuild it (pistons, rods rings) and save a shitload more money and run more boost??

the pistons are no good!? usually pistons dont just go bad. pistons rings?
either way have the engine rebuilt, parts should be less than a grand for aftermarkets that'll take whatever you can throw at em. Last edited by AzCivic : 06-18-2004 at 03:56 AM. |

no, its not a good price
The motor you could get for 1/2 that and install it yourself in about a weekend (if youve never done it before) 5hrs if you have. If I were you Id seriously get different parts - ie pistons (if thats what is really needed) and just keep the engine thats already in there It would be less than $1k |
