SHOT A ROD! what to do next?

[LRS95TSI]

well im definately not selling the car! i think im gonna go with the 7 bolt rebuilt, just to make everything easy. i just hope this motor lasts. i mean i dont have an extreme setup or anything i ill just hafta put my faith in the ol grocery getter!...but by all means keep giving suggestions, i think im gonna go with karking unless any1 has objections or recommendations

 

[gixrman]

well i'm with you now brother mine started showing signs of CW this morning. Guess i'll be taking some of my own advice.

 

[LRS95TSI]

welp, after talking with my buddy, we've decided to get the 7 bolt from karking. so within a couple of weeks ill b putting in another 7 bolt. i hope that this is the right decision, so all u dsm gods pray for the car to work properly .

Not to intrude or sound rude, but you dont seem very confident in this new 7 bolt you're buying. These are expensive toys!! ! If you dont feel confident about something, chances are, there's something not COMPLETELY right. Make the decision that will give u confidence. Take your time and triple check and THREADLOCK everything. You should be fine that way. I dont know about you, but I dont like expensive mistakes

the onyl reason why im hesitant is because i'm not familiar with engines. i hear good things about karking but i just hope this engine will last. my buddy seems to think everything will b fine and that the engine will be strong with my new setup. i just hate when the major parts of the engine are damaged, especially when i'm inexperienced, but im not doin the 6 bolt, and im not building the bottom end, so i dont have ne other options.

I just found out 2 weeks ago my crank is walking. Enjoy your new 7 bolt, +1 for the 6 bolt.

I heard karking sucks ass. Crappy half ass rebuilds. And if you get a 7 bolt, chance of crankwalk.

Used 6 bolt! IE Salvage Yard. Simply replace timing belt, balance belt, waterpump, tensioner and all associated pulleys in the timing side of things.

The age has little to do with it, either way you would be buying a rebuilt engine, and if it's a 7 bolt, it's probably an older one anyway.

The 6 bolt is stronger, which is why it will last YOU longer.

Don't get screwed! You know anyone with a KarKing motor?

A clean used engine is better then a half-ass rebuilt engine. These engines are strong, but if someone rebuilds it half ass, it will fall apart. Quickly.

I recomend a clean used 6 bolt.

Oh yeah: if you would have had a 6 bolt, you would not have shot a rod! Remember, they have stronger rods.

Damn, what a useless post...

Expect to spend $300-350 for shipping. And no, you don't need forged internals. Avoid the fad.

Yeah, forged internals are just a passing fad... He's right though as far as you most likely won't be needing them.

 

[LRS95TSI]

yea i heard some bad things to about them. i decided to hold off. i kindly like overbore with the 3 yr warranty. and i also like buschur racing's stage 1 block and head. i think those are my two options? any opinions

Something to consider for you would be a 1g 7bolt. They rarely crankwalk (if you're concerned about that), and bolt in with almost no modifications besides a cut on your timing belt cover and grinding 1/8th inch so the crank sensor bolts in.

 

[LRS95TSI]

i had heard of this being done, but i'm kinda confused on the differences of the engines. i thought it was a diff install because you had to do more then what u stated. isn't the sensor on the outside of the valve cover on that particular engine? ne installs or sites for information?
