Hello All;
I have removed the motor (cradle and all, not an easy task
)
I have taken the motor apart; head is rubbish; block is warped beyond the threshold.. and the cylinder walls have some minor scoring....
This means I need to source a motor as fixing this one, is not financially sensible at all.... (Not even sure reboring this block is possible; wasn't able to find any real information online)
Car only has 40K on the clock...
I have searched the internet and discovered 'supposedly' many used engines out there - but deeper diving and reviewing the BBB records - many of these 'suppliers' are selling garbage.
No less than 9 companies represented are in fact the SAME people with false addresses. (MI and WI)
My preference is that I can speak to a person and come see what I'd potentially be buying.
Any and all help is so greatly appreciated!
Cheers
Ian
