Re: dead car

way too much work to swap a V6 in there.

swap in a Focus zetec (almost direct swap, need a few machined parts.) Or a zetec out of a contour.

Do you drive your car hard? I don't understand how you could put a hole in the piston.

Re: dead car

I was wrong its not a hole it was realy all rings have been blown off oil too. I just thought it was a hloe from the no compression. But the cylinder is also in very bad shape.

it only had 100k miles.


Anyway how does $1,400 sound for a full engine rebuild.

Re: dead car

Eh, I'm not familiar with what Zetecs are going for, but I'm positive you could find a complete engine for much less than that.
