These engines are rare compared to 4age's but not that rare. As far as rebuilding them goes, it's the same for any motor, if it's hammered and a rebuild is the go then buy the best parts you can get. I think the most you will have to worry about is pistons. Everything else inside the 3tgteu is pretty solid, they have a very strong bottom end but the pistons seem to be the weak point. Another criticism is that there is a lack of aftermarket cam wheels and funky cams for them (eg no adjustment of cam). "So what?" I says, 3tgteu's make lot's of power without needing to go there. Depends what you want to rebuild it for, street strip or circuit racing. Each has a different spec. You don't really need to strip it down if you want to test the motor. Standard compression test can be done with the motor in a front cut or in the car without ECU attached. If it turns over without making nasty noises (turn over by hand first but first squirt a little oil down the plug holes to be on the safe side) then go from there. See Jackel post as a guideline. Sounds like you need some more info on the motor. 2 cents worth of advice, look around in Australia before buying from overseas. There are 3TGTEU's around that are running and can be looked at for decent prices. none around at the moment but they do come up.
