A 900 dollar engine..........
You expect to get service at that price???
That's a good number to start at for a rebuild.
I'll shoot you straight dude. I have a 91 na 7mge 5 spd.
This auto has shat on me sinse it arrived. I have had it one year as of april 12th.
I put 3.5k miles on it and she blew. This is the stock engine. I have learned what I know, from the last year of planning every bit of my build with carefull precision and it's hard enough to keep a schedule on a stock engine.
The JDM is this many x10. So the wise money buys you the engine you really want and then rebuilds it from the bottom up.
WHY?????
Because if you don't it's still going to weigh on your pocket book to keep it running. So throw the money and the parts at it right off and fix everything that could cause you problems and then....................................,
Install It. No $hit. Plain and Simple.
I don't know everything nor do I claim to know, opinionated is another story. But I'm NOT telling you wrong..., your mechanic pally IS.
He's trying to pawn you off on an engine he knows you are going to bring back to him time after time to RE-service and you will build a rapport and become nearly his best friend.
WHY??????
Because every body wants to make a buck and some of the guys involved lack integrity.
DO yourself a favor and do not go jdm.
I'll be doing signings in the front lobby right under the banner, you can't miss it.
