ive got a quick question, ive got a 87 Tii, and the motor is gone. the water seals went....anyways, roughley whats the percentage that its rebuildable without haveing to get new houseings and such??? also, round abouts, how much would it cost me to rebuild the motor at home, any info is appreciated from someone whos rebuilt a motor before

thanks,
Daniel

 

YOu know the mileage on the motor?

 

around about 125k, documents say that car was taken care of at service shops, when i drove the car, it pulled very strong. but couldnt keep itself from overpressureizing the coolant system from the combustion pressure, and therefore running hot, i personally never let the car get too hot, but i cant say the previous owner didnt. when i took the motor out, there is definate compression on both rotors, but i cant say how much, so the apex seals are still both intact.

 

Kevin Landers would know this..My guess is at that mileage, its time for a full rebuild.

it should be goot to rebuild. thats not hight miles

 

my intention with this is to get away cheap, i would do a full rebuild, but i would save myself the money in labor, and shipping to and from. im very mechanically inclined. but dont want to take apart the motor unless it can be rebuilt by myself.
