Aight heres the problem me and my ol lady are spliting up and ive been driving my nova that i gave her so she will be moving back to florida so that leaves me with no car. So heres the problem MONEY ive been buying parts here and there i have a 321 exh manifold that i want to put a t4 on it, arp head studs
rod and main bolts and a few other odds and ends. So heres my question
my bottom end has 140k on it engine has a blown head gasket and has been sitting for a few months. Now logic tells me i should have the bottom end rebuilt as with the head but my money wont allow me to do it the right way.
The car wasnt smoking when i parked it. so do you guys think ill be alright just getting the head rebuilt and surfaced and the block resurfaced for a metal head gasket
use the head studs. and get a small used t4 turbo oil lines etc. the car had no knock leaked alittle oil from around the oil drain but nothn serious i would have to put some oil in every few weeks i guess this really isnt a question just nervous about doing it half ass also does the bottom end need to be fully disassembled internaly to have it resurfaced? if so guess im fu#### i guess if anything that would be my question about the internals on the bottom end and once my car is back on the road i can get a jdm motor on the stand take it apart and have some 1 rebuild it correctly.
Im selling some of the parts im not using anymore old ct and manifold so that will help out some. i wish i knew more about motors to rebuild it myself but i dont so i wont but i sure can disassemble it and pull it to save money anyways sorry to ramble jus nervous wit everything goin on any input besides a kick in the head would be appeciated thanks ..glenn
