Posted by Derrick (94 GXE) on July 21, 2003 at 22:07:21: In Reply to: FINALLY! Getting the new engine next week... posted by dmontzsta on July 21, 2003 at 20:58:25: : my next project is to get it in ASAP and all set up and running. My reason for posting is this. : The guy says it had 93k on it. I am thinking about definately rebuilding the VTC' cause I know they will start ticking in about 10-20k, if they arent already (no way to tell). It has been sitting for around 1 year, what should I do before I take it to the shop and have them put it in? to make sure it isnt seized and they dont screw it up trying to fire it off. : Also, I know it is already damn near 100k, I know with the miles I drive (120k per day) it will be at 150 and then 200 soon. So I was thinking is there anyway of freshening it up without digging into the block? seals, etc? what do you guys reccomend??? : I KNOW I am going to be hitting it with a 50 shot after it is in the car and running well for 10-20k, so I want it to handle that (but dont want to get crazy engine building just yet) just another engine like the one I have that will last til 250k+ and take a shot of NOS in 10-20k. : All of your answers are appreciate, I am trying to get it in and running reliable on a budget due to the boat project. : When this is done and the boat is done, then I am getting a second car to take the pressure off. : BTW: My shop quoted me $300 to put the new engine in, and 2 days. I figure it is easier to let them do it, then having all the stuff around my garage and working around my busy schedule... : sorry so long. Replys: naw, first it would be VE30DEN20. n/m dmontzsta (92 SE) 22:12:57 7/21/2003 (0)
