I'm going to try and help him out and lend him the money. Can a rebuild kit be bought for under a grand? If so, I'll buy it and let him deal with having it installed
can anybody recommend a good and affordable rebuid kit? just a stock replacement
Your now approaching the problem in the responsible and respectful way so I commend you for that. However I'd take the question to a thread specifically for the engine issue your mentioning. This thread wont be very productive based off your original posting and questions. Good luck with fixing the car. :beer:
