Hi,i'm thinking of buying a scooby with 100k+ on the clock,i'm wondering how much it is going to cost for a engine rebuild if the worst comes to the worst.

cheers

 

to what level?

buy a second hand engine..

depends what breaks..

how long is a piece of string..

LOL

 

just a standard engine rebuild u know,take the ****** to peices and clean it all out,whatever they do,replcae things,theres gotta be some wear and tear in a engine with 100+k even if its running sweet...
i had one done on my old golf gti at 170k,it cost 500 quid

i'm just wondering how much its gonna cost to do the same on a uk impreza...
i'm thinking of when i come to sell it,its gonna be hard selling a car with 140k on it,a little easier with a recon engine at 140k

 

you want to rebuild for the fun of it your mad

just get a knacked engine of someone of here there should be plenty!

 

Fair question I thought. You know, the usual, bearings, crank regrind, rings, gaskets etc. Dont understand why your getting unhelpful replies mate. Rebuilt my old Land Rover once having never done a rebuild before. Thouroughly enjoyed it. The sense of achievement when you first fire it up is great. Probably end up doing the same to my WRX one day. Deserves a proper answer I reckon.

 

well i recon if he has an engine that has managed 100k its a goodun just leave it my leggy has 90k on the clock and it has definately been clocked and its still going strong.

why rebuild an engine that is fine?

ok its cheaper to rebuild one thats not been killed probably but its unlikely to be that cheap.

you will be bored in 6 months so buy a spare and go mental on that one then if your own is still good you can sell it

 

how am i being unhelpfull??

Thought your reply read a little sarcastically. Sorry if I was wrong.

 

Just had to rebuild my STI7 cost about 500 your money ...but f&*#$ed it up and had to buy a new one engine cost about 3000 your money with ecu ...the oly good part is now i have spare parts

 

Hi Iv just had my engine rebuilt after blowing the crank and some conrods and piston no 3 this cost me £1900 but some parts were second had like the crank and rods but if it had been new would of been about 2700approx the chap who did it for me is colin at www.thamesvalleysports.co.uk 01189451333

 

100k miles isn't much. Mine is at 120k and still getting a good thrashing. Change the oil often if you're worried, and make sure it doesn't detonate when under load.
