i have a 86 rx7 base i blew the water seals what should i do rebuild or buy a new motor?

 

Rebuild it and learn how your engine works,or Replace it with either a Rebuilt,remanned,or used..Honestly it's your choice.It may cost you less to buy a used engine but then again,it may not last..so,there,again it comes down to what you want to spend,how long you are going to keep the car for,HOW you are going to drive your Car(autoX or DailyDriver,Drag strip on Sunday?)..

 

There are also a few sites you can get rebuilt engines with mileage warranties,so if it decides to kick out your good, honestly i wouldnt buy from any where tat doesnt offer a warranty on a rebuild.

 

i would tear it out and tear it down, see if it's still a good candidate for a rebuild...if so, rebuild it! knowledge is power

 

what are some websites that sell rebuild motors cause i dont have the space or a garage to rebuild one and the rebuild kits can be expensive basically im looking for a motor for like 1000$ cause i did beat on my car alot so if i rip it apart who knows whats up wit it 122k miles on it deff not rebuilt at 60k and im an avid street drifter even when my car isnt on the road legaly call me crazy i know but i do some how still have a clean licenese

 

Do a compression test if you can; If you show even poor compression, then most internal parts are probably reusable. However, if you see some significantly varied compression numbers, you probably have scarred the rotors and housings to the point where they're unusable. Hell, if you're gonna have the car sitting for a while anyways, you should probably just take the engine out, open it up, and see what you're looking at.

 

yeah i had my car in the shop a few weeks ago did the compression test it came back blue my antifreeze is contaminated wit oil gas what ever im pretty shore the internals are allright ive only put like 2000 miles on it ever since i bought it, its hard to keep it on the road i get raped wit insurence 2800 a year pretty bad, good thing i work locally and can walk, basically my car is a 2 year going project car its in really good shape on the outside new paint job, i got headers back, intake, sick plugs and wires, and a bunch of new engine parts alternator ect., TII hood, dual stage clutch, new bumper so im a just buy a new motor and stick wit the car now would be the time to do the whole TII swap if i was set wit money thanks for all the help guys i got a place i think i can get a good motor now

 

fwiw, you're not going to get a good rebuild for $1k. you can get a used motor for less than that, but you're still not going to know how good it is. so, if you're only looking to spend $1k, sell the 7 and find another car

i don't want that to sound mean, but if you somehow find a new rebuild for $1k, you're rolling the dice on whether it's any good.

Then I retract my post and apologize. Thanks for the correction, hehe.

 

If all thats blown is the water seals then rebuild it. If it was in good running order before then you can probly reuse most your irons and get a rebuild kit.
