should i buy my friends engine (4g63t) for 100$

[yeti]

should i picc this up and do a full rebuild
( i also want more knowledge about rebuilding engines)
what kind of damage is un-repairable
i think he threw a rod
and its from a fwd and il be making it awd ANY DIFFERENCE?
AND I THINK ITS A 7BOLT

 

[AnotherNewb]

Thrown rod =FUBAR
Spun rod bearing repairable.
7bolt is not a direct replacement.

Is it pulled apart? Pictures would go a long way.

 

[yeti]

i was not planning on using it unless my 6 bolt goes
i just want experience i might throw it in another car,,or sell it after rebuild.....
but i will have more info on whats damaged and possibly some pictures

 

[BadVr4]

he should be paying you $100 to take it. its only worth scrap metal if it threw a rod

 

[alansupra94]

If it threw a rod, its worthless. What makes it even worse is that its a 7 bolt.

 

[The_Big_Weave]

To bad its an iron block or you would scrap it for aluminum. Thats about all its worth.

 

[yeti]

ok nothing wrong with engine he said. BUT ITS JUST THE BLOCK WITH PISTONS
IS THAT WORTH A 100

o and he says he can get 300$ for just the block
(is this true or is he bull shitting)

 

[acidrumz]

7 bolt? if i were you, i'll pass. If he's a real friend, you should be getting it for free. imo.

I personally wouldn't pay anything for a stock 7 bolt. Definitely not worth the $300 he claims. The 7 bolts just aren't desirable motors and most people would probably just give them away to clear the space.

Sounds like you need to make new friends that aren't retarded. I bought a 6 bolt block w/ 2g pistons on 1g rods with everything else besides a head for $200.

No one is going to spend $300 on a damaged block. Tell your friend to stop smoking weed and get a realistic grip on 4g63s.

hahaha /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif


thank everyone for advice

(by the way this is the same dude who told me if i pull the awd FUSE it will be only RWD)

I WILL TELL HIM 2 FUC$ HIMSELF

 

[slugsgomoo]

if it was a 98 or 99 7bolt, maybe. If it's 92-97 it's garbage anyway, especially if it tossed a rod. If it doesn't have a crank it's extra worthless.

i bought a $50 7 bolt block with a 1g head locally just to play around with. much better than paying $200-300 for one at the junkyard.
