I am out of luck there is oil in my cylinders.

Hey all. I just bought a 95 Eagle Talon Tsi about 2.5 weeks ago. It ran fairly decently untill last week. I got in and it would start then shut off.... long story short, there is oil in my cylinders.

Now I am stuck with either having it Rebuilt somewhere, getting a crate motor, or selling it. It is in really good shape, but with a bad engine I doubt I could get what I paid for it which was $2500. I don't have a garage or anything so rebuilding it myself is out of the question, and really putting a crate motor in is too, but I think it might be more managable.

Anyways, I was wondering which shop you guys would trust to rebuild in the portland area. Damn this sucks.

Trusted DSM shop in the Northwest.

RRev motorsports. The guy that left torque freaks started a this new shop. Not specific to dsm's but very knowledgeable. They had a 8 sec supra at battle of the imports in WA.

If you want help swapping out the engine, I'd be more than willing to help you out. I live in Gaston.... right up 47 from McMinnville. I've got a garage and everything we need to replace it. Mine should be out of the garage by the end of the month, but i can roll it out anytime if you got one sooner.

Thank you very much.

Although I would love to do the rebuild myself, I have a 5month old kid and, well, not really any time ever at all to work on the vehicles. I was thinking of taking it down to davidson auto down here. They are the cheapeast and actually the most professional place I have found. When it is all said and done will probablly only cost me about $1500.

Maybe after this thing is running we could cruise sometime though, or in the future if I need a garage for a day. ~Bryan

i totally understand with the kid thing. up until mine hit 1 1/2- 2ish....... i couldn't do anything. If you can find a replacement engine for cheaper than that, I'll still help you out. Or if you need some help with something else in the future. I just like working on stuff.
