Engine Replacement

jwomack1547 · 07-15-2015, 01:48 PM

I'm about to replace my engine if I can get one for a college student price lol. I was wondering if it is cheaper to rebuild or replace. Basically spun a connecting rod bearing that caused a lower knock.

And for reference, besides the manual how to book, are there any other resources for taking it out? Maybe a picture/guide to were most or all of the harness wires are attached to hopefully.

How complex is our engine to remove. I heard honda's were a cake, but would rather get advice from "Z" people.

Thanks for the time!

Planning on boosting?

General consensus, on the FB page, is building your block is more price efficient then swapping another OEM one at a dealershit.

Yeah I wasn't planning on boosting yet. I was gonna buy an engine online or a scrap yard and pay to put it in. Dealershit is a total no since I was quoted 6k to 10k
