Need help
ok well most have u have seen my previous post about my motor. The problem is with the piston rod in the 6th cylinder on my 93 TT z32. What would be my best option... can i fix the piston rod?.. should i rebuild the motor or do a swap? If i were to do a swap where do u recommend i get the motor?Im curious what u guys would do in my situation. Im looking to keep this car for a while.
Re: Need help (Ill give u a head start)
If you do a swap, Z1 has nice already built engines - turbos..even E-bay has some engines..

How many miles one the engine?If theres alot i would do a swap b.c once you start going deep into the engine your prob. going to find more and more problems and your going to end up spending a **** load. It would be alot less work with a swap.

Re: Need help (-=BoYo=-)
it has 91k miles. isnt there a way i can just replace the rod or fix it?
Re: Need help (Ill give u a head start)
to replace it you need to take the engine out, take out the oil pan where it will be visible from there, but that is not the end of it, you have to get the cranksaft bracket out, also oil sending unit, crank pully, timing belt, flywheel, i'm sure i'm forgetting something else............ that is when the piston rods will be easy to replace.... however, there is a good chance that the timing will be messed up..... but i agree with what BoYo suggested, swaping the engine with a low milage will save a lot of money and hassle, as the money that you are going to spend for a mechanic to replace the rods (labour) will be a lot
Re: Need help (95-j30t)
If your looking to keep the car a while leave the engine you have in the car and build up another engine you by then do a swap it will last alot longer...and you can always sell yuor old engine on ebay or somthing ....

How bad was the motor hurt?? Also Z1 does not build there motors.. I would be happy to build the motor. Ive done plenty, and can hook you up with many refferals. Ive built plenty with above 500 rwhp and there built to last. Rebuilds go for $3500 to 4200. Yell if you want to talk.. 205-910-8273
