Alright guys, unfortunately I found out that my head gasket is blown I previously did a compression check and found cylinders 1 and 2 to be low 150 while 3 and 4 were 170, and the valve seals are toast as well cause it burns oil and blows all kinds of smoke...The car has been running super hot lately (almost to red zone), and just earlier today I started it and it went straight to overheating at idle and started blowing out like tons of white smoke (smelled like coolant)...enough that made a little kid cry
Im just going to order another motor but am not sure what to get or where from. I took out a lone and have 3500$ only. I really dont need a bulletproof motor. I would like to just have a 6 bolt with 2g pistons, balance shaft removed and some mild head work. Ive been looking at prices and found that fully built motor arent very much, but I just dont need that kind of backup. Im satisfied with my big16g and dont think that Ill upgrade, so I assume a stock bottom end will be sufficient...right? I dont have time to do anything myself, nor the tools or space, so I need to order from somewhere soon! I need my car to be running. Id love to get any and all suggestions from you all as to what type of setuo from where (cheapest ) I could get it from. I dont mind spending all 3500$, but this price has to include installation (~500$) of the motor as well.
If there are any other suggestions as to what route I should go please holla', cause I need to get this ball rolling ASAP. Thanks in advance...
