Eagle_Adam Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 ill rebuild it for ya, PM me Quote Link to comment
mikeanike99 Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 You could also do a engine swap with a l20 or ka that would greatly increase power Quote Link to comment
Llittle_Llama Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 I was about to suggest the same thing, but instead of swapping to an L20 I would bore mine out and rebuild it . You would basically have a brand new L20 Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 I'm rebuilding an L20 with him, staying stock but all new everything. Quote Link to comment

Mine is blown up unfortunately Define ' blown up'. To me that rod through the block. Maybe you just need a head gasket, throw some valve seals in? 1 Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 His trucks at my place right now mike, theres a bad bearing in the bottom end Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 So its not blown up then. Just noisy with a ruined bearing? Can sometimes get new bearing sets on eBay for $20 but usually cost more. Quote Link to comment

mikeanike99 Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 How much would it be for all the parts and stuff to rebuild a l16? Quote Link to comment

mikeanike99 Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 When my l16 blows which idk when will happen it hasn't been on the road for over a year and it has 196.000.6 miles on it as far as I know...so I don't know if I should rebuild it when it goes or swap for a bigger motor like a l20 or if I have a hunk of cash a ka Quote Link to comment
