TX Houston Rebuild

Hey, just figured I'd ask if there's anyone in houston, or close to that can help me rebuild my 13B N/a. I have another vehicle I can use if I have to leave my car somewhere. Please send me a price and we can go from there. I think I have a coolant leak somewhere so I'm needing this done rather quickly as this is my daily. I'm also on a slight budget. Looking for an experienced rotary mechanic that won't rape my wallet. Thanks, Zach

The only coolant leak that will require a rebuild is an internal o-ring leak. The best way to confirm this is to perform a cooling system pressure test. Best to check it out first and make sure it's not something external before tearing the engine down.

Alright, I'll try that. But what would cause white smoke on some start ups and make me need to add coolant every few days?

That's the type of leak that would cause those symptoms.
