I have an 88 that the engine is about toast I think? It spews white smoke heavily from the exahaust especially on acceleration. Is it expensive to hav them rebuilt?

 

Rebuild costs range from about $800 at the low end (if you do it yourself) to as high as you want to pay...If a shop is doing the work, figure $2000 average if no replacement hard parts (ie. rotor housings) are needed.

A search for "rebuild cost" will probably provide a lot of info as well.

 

Is it pretty tough to rebeuild it yourself? I have a lot of time on my hands for this car....So is $800 all parts?

 

that one depends on you, i don't think they are hard to do but i have seen MANY people screw it up.

that depends if you need additional internal parts, that price is a starting point not an ending point.
