i dont take offense at all. I was looking at prices at for all seals, rings, and bearings it looks to be about $1000. Buying an engine with over 100k on it seems to be almost 1000 shipped so Im just weighing my options. Id feel alot more content with a fresh engine.

but who would rebuild the engine?? it will rake more than just parts including getting the block/heads milled. glaze broken... etc

im sure Id have to pay big money to get it rebuilt because I dont know anyone with the ability to do so in a timely manner. I might be able to chug through it slowly over the summer. The only real issue is that I dont need the car at all as a dd from may to the end of august. But after august It would be a huge struggle if anything did happen, and Id like to have a fresh car by then.
I appreciate this input. Criticism is always good so i know what im getting into or avoiding a rock and a hard place. Tom- why would the heads need to be milled?

anytime you seperate the heads from the engine it is a good idea to get them milled to prevent premature HG failure

By getting the glaze broken are you referring to splitting the block to expose the crank?
Sorry for all the questions, im just trying to evaluate this project thanks

no i mean honing the cylinder walls. if they are in good shape then all you need is a honing. if they are bad(gouged(sp?)) then you will need to scrap the block or sleeve it.

oh ok. I was just planning on having to have it honed. If the cylinder walls were badly damaged wouldnt I be losing noticeable compression?
Does splitting the block require any specialty tools?

Im thinking it would not be a bad idea to buy a blown engine (excluding block damage or crank damage) and mess around with it, possibly rebuilt it and replace it.
How much would a blown svx engine run? assuming i could find one

Are there any machine shops in NJ or eastern PA that have experience with Boxer engines?
And would it be a good idea to mill the block to for the same reason you mill the heads?

err read that up there then i saw where you said a 5mt. the 5mt failed due to power... and the stock motor has more power(torque) then a 5mt can handle imo. |
