i know its kinda too tempting like the whole 1 year unlimited mileage warranty they got and the price seems like they arent even charging anything at all

depends what you need for your car...


you cant ever really tell till your motor is open... unless, its blown due to coolant seal, apex, etc...


the prices vary ....


the rebuild kit is roughly 1k.......

they prolly rebuild with used parts ne ways..(most shops around here do..so it wouldn't hurt)

and btw RicerJ did you contact ben for the real price? (might be cheaper since you could just pull your motor out yourself and jus give him a short block to rebuild)

well mines sitting waiting for me to get the money to get it rebuilt do you know if its ok if i leave the clutch and flywheel on since i dont have the tool to align the clutch right and i was just wondering is it easy to rehook everything back up and since im going to have it out should i just replace the motor mounts too and maybe the tranny mounts just so everything is a little better
