Short Block Rebuild
Hey all,
So I had my engine rebuilt 2.5 years ago. The engine has run well since rebuild, but uses a quart of oil every ~ every 800 to 1000 miles. It appears that reusing the stock pistons is what's causing this issue. I spoke with inlinepro (I live local) and it looks like rebuilding the short block would greatly reduce the oil loss issue. Price seem reasonable and oversized pistons would be used. I know many of you dont like rebuilds, but I'm looking for opinions. Since the car is running well and it's not my daily l suppose a short block rebuild isn't needed asap.

How many miles on your rebuild? The engine build cost isn't significantly different, but I would also need and EMS and tune, correct? Making it an extra ~$3000.

Totally worth it. I have a 2.4L with AEM Infinity tuned at Evans Tuning 3 times. So badass, love my car so much!
