Fri, 29 July 2005 22:31 It may be worth it to pay an engine builder to strip the motor and examine the internals, measure tolerances etc. You might then be able to make a better decision. If the motor's pooched anyway there is not a whole lot to lose. If you want less hassles you'll have to spend a bit more money on a decent rebuild. Imports can be a bit of a mixed bag. You might get one that lasts for years or one that lasts 6 months. There are some dodgy importers as well. As for replacing internals its not absolutely necessary. Pistons for example can be easily refurbished depending on their condition. For what its worth I stripped my 4AGE and took all the parts to the rebuilder for cleaning, machining and measuring. I then tacked everything back together myself. Rough costs= Block hone and chemical clean - $120 Head service - $200 Crankshaft machine - $50 Piston Rings - $100 Big end bearings - $70 Main bearings - $70 Full Gasket Kit - $270 Thrust Bearings - $25 Consumables such as oil, coolant, gasket cement, install lube etc etc - maybe $100. You'll also need some good tools like a torque wrench and piston ring compressor. Just a thought. [Report message to a moderator]
