Light rod knock has turned into moderate and I need to get this thing fixed as I drive almost 100mi/day and I can tell it's getting worse.
I want to refresh and re-ring a spare block I have in the garage as it's in good shape, just came out of my old 95, but it's been sitting sans-valve cover for quite some time.
Here's my list.
*Remove Heads
*Send Heads to be cleaned
*Send Cams to Delta
*Remove Pistons
*Hone Cylinders
*Re-Ring Pistons (in good shape hopefully)
*Slight Porting on Heads
*Re-Assemble
*....
*Continue Beating
Any good places to obtain rings/gasket set? read: cheap
I found engine gasket set for $179
Piston Ring set is $56
Water Pump $37
Timing Belt $22
Cams $165
Machine shop $50
$550 (roughly)
Not what I had planned for this car at all...
Alternatively, I can buy an EJ22e anywhere, used of course, for $100 roughly, but condition varies.
Insight? Could use the help if anyone knows someone with a good EJ22e in MA/NH/RI area, putting up a WTB in the shed right now.
thanks,
Kurt
