In need of a cylinder head :(
- Thread starter mk3_89turbo
- Start date
Well shoot. i might as well get a whole engine. who knows what other damages were done. the mechanic told me that 2 cylinders aren't even firing and that it took forever for a pressure test. by the time i get done paying for the head and for it to be replaced i might as well spend the extra few hundred to get a motor swapped. anyone know where i can find a crate motor?
Why not just rebuild yours?
No crate motors for our cars. You can get a new one for like 5k.
What is wrong with your head? Cracked?
You can do a basic rebuild like rings, bearings, hg, and gasket set for a few hundred bux and then cost of machine shop depending what you do could be 3-500 up to 1200.
Jdm unknown motors that are not low milage anymore are around 1200-1300+shipping which might need a rebuild anyways.

1st step should ALWAYS be to have the Head tested for hardness, if it's soft it's scrap and a total WOTM.
yeah he said the head is deff screwed. i'm worried about the block. he said it could possibly be warped which if it is then i have to buy a motor. but what is the likelihood of a warped block?
