Where to get an sti engine (PX)
Hi guys,
After removing the engine from the car (STI Type r) due to HG failure. I have noticed that there is a few things i dont like (sealant around joints,stripped bolt heads etc).
The engine had a rebuild (alegedly) and i have the receipts but i doubt the persons competence who rebuilt it as its simply not a professional job.
I am considering buying another engine so i know its right. Is there anyone who sells recon engines and will p/x with my old one.
Cheers

There are places that sell "recon" engines and will do a px on it, no one in their right mind would buy from such a company though (SMR/IDEAL etc) as they are rip off merchants.
Rebuild is your best bet if you dont want to waste your money.
