so i blew my motor in my s this past weekend ): droped a valve did some major damage! the head is trash but the block can be saved. was wondering if it would be cheaper just to rebuild my block and get a new head or just get a used motor? any ideas would be helpful. thanks

 

Wow, are you sure the block can be saved? check the walls, with that amount of damage to the heads im suprised the block can be saved without a resleeve or something

 

yeah just the one piston is bad and the the one wall will have to be omed out cuz there is a reall small lil scratch but i was planing on sleeving it anyways.

 

It might be best to just get a used block. Just my 2cents. Make suer its running properly before you pop for it though.

 

yeah im prob gana end up just gettn another complet motor, just wanted to see what some of you guys had to say about it. any ideas on how much used ones run?

 

If you dont mind waiting, Im sure a wrecked one will show up at a junk yard, but if youre in need of it soon, Im sure tis going to run you a couple G's...

 

A used one would probably be best if its done that much damage...As was stated earlier im sure that one will turn up on the forums here....

 

I didnt think you could hone our cylinder walls because of the carbon reinforcing. But I could be wrong.

 

1. stroke it to 2.7 liters
2. new head
3. ???
4. profit

 

that block is finished without a resleeve. Similar damage happened to me when a retainer dropped at 7500rpms. If you aren't looking to boost or some crazy n/a setup, a simple drop in motor would be cheaper.
