um ok .....blow it up and scam the insurance company! it will work i promise.

nah its ok
how much to rebuild an engine?
2K-3K
installed?
don't have the tools nor the know how to do it my self.

It depends on what you do or where you go. What do you mean when you say rebuild? new pistons & rods valve job? Why dont you just go to a machine shop and ask them. I'm not trying to be rude but we are not doing the work. So go to the shop and get a estimate. Most shops want the motor pulled before they even work on it.

the car has a 137k miles on it.
i would like to keep it, it looks great, a few bumps but nothing serious.
I have never had an engine rebuild, so i'm not sure exactly what i'm looking for.
i just want that engine to sound and drive better.
perhaps from the sounds of it, it might be better to go to the junk yard and find a low milage engine and transplant it in.
i'm guessing 500-1000 for the engine, how much usually to install?
another 500 ish?
Thanks

baby dont cry i hope u have ur head up even when the road is hard keep ur head up..my bad i just had to say it i like that song :evillol: TU PAC

Your car has a lot of miles, of course it's going to break. I haven't hit 40k yet (almost) but I'm not maintenence free. You can find a local DSM'er to do the job, or have it done at any mechanic. We don't have a Pep Boys so I don't know anything about it. My engine rebuild was 5k including labor ($1200) and the turbo and clutch at the dealership. Different engine, but you can search for yourself for the parts cost online or at a junk yard, salvage, or auction.. and estimate from there.

yea my damn belt does the same damn thing, if you spray the belt dressing on it then it stops for a little while but thats it...mine kinda makes a whoosh sound, its tightened as far as it goes without hurting anything what else could i do to make it stop?

I must be getting old because my ears were compleaty off!
the ticking was the water pump and the other noize was the tranny.
replaced the water pump and relubed the tranny and its all good.
Still starts rough but other than that its oooookkkk.
Sorry for the hissy fit
Thanks guys

Just a curiosity question, how much did the transmission re-build cost you?
