demo243 Posted October 26, 2018 Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 You! Rebuilding isn't actually that bad, or require that many specific tools... just need a machine shop to do the block and head if they need work. Most good machine shops will do an engine assembly for you... but the costs skyrocket. Tearing the engine down is pretty messy.... but building it up is a pretty clean process --- should be a clean process to make sure everything is good. Just need space for an engine stand and a clean "work bench" You'll save yourself alot of cash building it yourself 1 Quote Link to comment
