87 turbo supra got a nock. how hard to rebuild?

[Orangeracer]

So i changed the oil in my supra and it got a nock. So i am going to have to pull the engine. the question how long should it take to yank the engine out? and would just getting the head rebuilt, new bearings, and rings and seals, be good? or do i have to do anything else? any tips or tricks would be nice.

THe cheapest ive found for a good quality rebuild (new crank bearings, polished crank, new forged pistons, rods, HG, block preasure check, check/ replace cams flow head...etc...) was about 1450. Pacific Engines in seattle. These guys knew what motor I had over the phone just from "80s turbo supra"

pack....

1450 for all that? thats a pretty sweet deal.

I doubt it included pistons and rods, a good set will cost that much or more by themselves. The rest of it sounds like it's not bad for $1450.

Time and cost all depends on how much of it you can do yourself. The '87 i am restoring came w/a bad rod. after pulling it down, the rods and pistons were fine, though I did need to have the crank turned. If the knock just started to happen(and the PO didn't run heavy oil to cover up the sound at sale), you may be lucky and not have any crank wear, though it should be checked anyways. I would think if you can do the work yourself you should be able to rebuilt it for under $1500. I wasn't on a time table to do mine, so I can't say how long it would take.

If you buy a complete engine, I think you could remove/install the engines one weekend, then complete the rest of the install the following weekend.

your taking this pretty well for getting rod knock..

That's what I was figuring, there's no way all that stuff was included and the labor.
