tooquicktostop Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Cheapest way would be to source a KNOWN second hand engine and swop I went for a new Toyota bottom end as a base and that was around 2K delivered, then add on a new water and oil pump to be safe Labour really depends on the builder and if you do rebuild I would replace the rods and bolts for aftermarket parts if you plan on bigger power at some stage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLicense Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 how much would an basic re build cost with stock parts any one done it and can any one give me any information on the cost doing the job as well cheers daz It's really quite an open question because it depends on what's wrong with it. It could be the head gasket, which is a relatively easy fix, or it could be something a lot more drastic that requires a full strip down and rebuild. If it needed or you just wanted a complete strip down and rebuild - and a proper job doing at that, then you could be looking at a minimum of a grand in parts and I would probably imagine about the same in labour. Then there would be the cost of pulling and re-fitting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Water pumps can dribble when hot and the coolant evaporates before being seen as a puddle until they get chronic. When did it last have a new water pump? I'd try a pressure test when cold and see if waggling the pump pulley with the belt off shows any drips from the drain nipple. Or just slap a new pump on? Rads can weep at the bottom and again the water evaporates, so no drips at first. they can look mint at the top, but be a disaster area by the bottom tanks...

miko_supra Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I had a leaking water pump. The pump had been changed recently but it was the rear housing at the back of the pump which mates onto the front part that the fan belt drives. I could see water stains around the area and when i ran the car i couldn't see where it was coming from. took it apart and did a dye penetrant check on the rear housing to find a very very fine crack about half an inch long. I was loosing about a litre of coolant for about 2 hours of driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
