crank repair

[cuel]

You should get a couple more quotes. you should be able to find it a little cheaper. I just wanted to point out that it's not an easy, in and out type of job. Labor is probably a little high, depending on the average hourly shop rate in your area. You should be able to get a reconditioned crank kit for 1/2 or a little more than the dealer price. Should come with new bearings as well, of the correct size. SO yeah, some fat could be cut out of that 2200, but I wouldn't expect less than $1500 without having some short cuts(short cuts are bad).

Number 1 rule of owning a supra, learn how to do everything yourself. If your paying someone else to do it 60 - 80% of the cost is labour.

Buy a beater for $800, spend the rest on a new engine setup (rebuild kit), and when you're done, sell the beater and buy a nice exhaustintake combo or something.

^ Keep beater for future problems like this. :icon_bigg

I've always thought pulling the engine was a pretty easy job. Last one Rumptis and I did took us like 2 hours, including going inside for lunch, start to engine on the stand. But we d it the smart way... *cough*engineandtransatthesametime*cough*

+1 to the buy another car, $2200 will buy you a damn nice honda.

My 89 n/a is my beater, just it has a bhg which im working on at the moment. I apprciate the responses. Funny thing though when you look at some use cars. You might get a good price, then they say the tranny does not work. Which drives u to fix what u have. At least u know who owns it.
Not blaming the my supras for the failures, the the n/a i put a coolant hose from was from auto advance. Lasted 2 months then split. The turbo could have been a problem due to the last person working on the car. Not applying enough torque on the crank pully bolt. life goes on, just me with out cars. lol

There is currently someone selling a JDM longblock in the FS section for a decent price I would go that way.
