Need A Replacement Rb25

[Spook's_Skyline]

anyone got any leads on a replacement rb25 for my car?

she seems to have blown a head gasket this morning and filled a cylinder with water, rendering the engine pretty much dead (it did serve me well)

i guess ill check all the usual wreckers, but last time i looked there werent many around;

[Revhead]

Oh noes Dave... click me (short engine but it sounds like that might be all you need)

Sure you don't want an RB30? Every new dad needs one

[Spook's_Skyline]

hmmm, my mechanic said to go for a long engine

i did like the price though!

Dave, I'm wondering why you are going a new engine? Did it bend a rod?

Are you looking for a NEO6 RB25 engine??

I may know where you can get one....

Call me

[Spook's_Skyline]

all good, my mechanic found an engine:

tah;

Dave, I'm wondering why you are going a new engine? Did it bend a rod?

not sure:

i think it just boils down to cost:

its pretty expensive getting any head work done and when its all repaired im left with a 165000k engine thats been patched up:

Well it depends whether it has warped the head or not. I've had a lot of cars I just pull the head, do a little checking for flatness or maybe a little skim at the reco shop and new head gasket and it is on. Would be lucky to make $500 of work and parts.

New engine $1500

pull and refit engine, up to $1K at some places.

Sounds very dodgy to me but I don't know the extent of the damage exactly. After more than 20 years working in or managing the industry I've seen a lot of dodgy bills produced.

i totally trust my mechanic:

if he says its new engine time, its new engine time:

Neil made up the oil-line for my HKS turbo when I was in a big bind I know him through a friend, has always been very helpful and seems to be a top bloke...would feel happy letting him do work on my car, and that's a big call!

That's a good relationship to have, but it never hurts to ask why.

I've known plenty of guys who have gone to the favourite/trusted workshop and have left forever several thousand dollars poorer that they finally realised they didn't need to be.

So good luck anyway and I hope they look after you properly.
