use engine or rebuild. NOW

[07BLKNINJA]

well after doing an oil change and trying some additive (i know theirs no mechanic in a can) but it didn't fix the oil burning problem my CB7's suffering from that i have just bought last weekend. So, now im in a pickle. and the car smokes Way to much for my liking. and if i knew it burned oil i would have never bought it. so

Option 1: rebuild the engine, with Slandered parts and new gaskets, seals,timing belt, balance belt, water pump, rings, and rod bearing ONLY. i would not touch the crank bearings. or oil pump.

Option 2: buy a used f22 and plunk it in over the weekend.

both options are going to run me about 350 $ the engine would be faster, but rebuilding it would be fresher

wither way something will be happening the weekend of the 19th hopefully

Rebuild it...

Hmmm... i guess it all depends on what kinda condition the used motor would be in. If you went with the rebuild, you could run into other problems that werent apparent beforehand, and end up costing you more. What motor you running now?

[07BLKNINJA]

F22a6, and it only has 124,xxx miles on it. and im guessing the rings are bad, or the valve seals, but if im doing one i mite as well do both,

and a used motor i would be Pissed if i put it in and had the same problem lmao, but if it is used id slap a timing kit on it, water pump and letter rip

and thats the thing, i got the car cheap, but wasn't expecting this, and it does have a fair amount of dents, rust, and a window regulator bad, and money already tied up in it.but its my daily driving project lol

[choogee3]

Yeah, its not easy trying to fix everything while you need to drive the car... i gotta do my clutch soon... fuck.

[djkurious]

124,000 miles....hummm. I would go for the used engine. Will you be getting the engine online or from a place that sells low mileage jdm engines? With a engine outside of the car, you can pretty see what needs to be replaced like timing belt, etc.

[07BLKNINJA]

ehh. it was going to be one with 140k off line locally.

I'd say get another engine. Then you would have an F that you could build on the side. I don't really know what you plan to do with the car though.

Rebuild it

I say rebuild the one you have. Just make sure you buy everything that you think you will need ahead of time since this is your daily and you can't afford the down time. The reason I say rebuild the one in your car is becuz you already know whats wrong with it. If you buy another one, you might have to rebuild it a few months down the line. So, you might as well save time and money and rebuild yours. Remember, by taking the easy route you will more than likely end up spending more money and wasting more time in the long run. Just my .02. The choice is yours.

I say H22 it lol.
jk, rebuild it and have it running like a champ again, because the engine you get may have its own problems you might find out later on.

you never know
