How Much To Have A Motor Out - Motor In Job, Rb26dett

[nsta]

Hey guys, my car is causing me more grief, and i was told it will need a full rebuild, i only want it back to factory specs, and theres a full engine minus ecu, and flywheel back going for a good dollar, with startup warranty, and also warrasnty if the compression across the board is not as the guy says it is(which is very healthy)....

I was wondering how much money it would cost in labour, for someone to pull the motor out, and put the new one back in and get it all up and running from start - end, and also how long it would take roughly???

Ive decided off the rebuild at this stage.....but ill keep all the parts from my old engine, besides, with a startup warranty, and 200-210lbs compression across all cyl , and oil is 30lbs on starter warranty, can i be safe to assume, that this is a strong motor?, is there things i should really do while i have it out if i end up purchasing?, ie fit n1 oil pump, bigger headgasket etc???....

for what its worth the car is an r33 gtr, and old motor lost compression on 2 which was zero, and 3 was 40, the others were not badm but still low aswell....

Thanks mate, if we do a compression test when the motor is in, and its looking very healthy, could i be safe to assume it is healthy?, what are signs of a healthy motor anyway?, i dont know which direction to go right now, am i on the right track (ie buy new motor).....

You can never be sure with an old used engine, a comp test will not reveal very much, while you are at it do a leakdown test as well but this will not tell you if its about to spin a bearing!!
