Quickest way is to get a JDM engine. You can find one for around a grand. A reasonably good rebuild will cost about that much. Look at this as an opportunity, Get the JDM engine, and the take your time and do a monster rebuild on the old engine. My JDM lasted about four years, before it blew it's gasket, and all I did was re-torque the head before I put it in.

In the time it has taken you to receive replies to your post, you could have used the search button.

This has been discussed MANY MANY times.

The search function doesn't work well for me, so I avoid using it myself. Maybe he's had bad luck with it too.

It's because both you guys don't take the time to learn how to use it.

Rayallo1 - continue to avoid using the search function and you will get the same treatment.

There is tons of info here...how about just looking through the Build Gallery?

Hippie - You need to read this:

Vague question = vague answers (or the responses you got)

Read the above link and learn how to search:

Thread closed.

That was the response Hippie got when his last thread was closed. He obviously did not take my advice...he continues to provide min info and follows that by posting a thread with spelling/grammar bad enough to give me a headache. Then whines about it. The text messaging lingo BS will not cut it anywhere on SM.

Hippie - there is low tolerance in the Tech section for this. I suggest you take my advice.
