That wasn’t just for the build. That was removal, build, and reinstall and retune. But good to keep in mind.

Yeah, as much as I think it would be cool to rebuild an engine myself, even with all the education on the subject, doing it on something that I NEED to work the first time is nothing something I’m leaning towards.I’ve spoken with my dad several times this week in regards to maybe helping with...

Have you done it already? Or still deciding which direction you're going?

Yup. I’m kinda leaning that way. I just have to decide if I want to tackle this myself or have my tuner build it. I spoke with him yesterday to get a ball park on the labor and I want to die lol. Trying to do a little research now.Getting a used Gen 1 engine from a junkyard or a Parts farm...

Honestly I never bought this car with a power goal in mind. I’m more on the safe/reliable set up side of things. Whatever set up I can do to be good long term is what I’d like to go with.

Yeah I’m gonna sit on it for awhile. I’m in no rush. I do a lot of my own work but I’ve never done a rebuild before. Learning on a car that I NEED to work when the motor is in is why I’m weary on that option lol. Shortblock seems easier. I don’t think I want to sell the car. If I sold it...

Update: I was not over thinking. Car started burning oil badly. I pulled the plugs and #8 plug was caked in oil. Compression tested to 55 psi. She’s cooked.

Looks like a false alarm. I took car out today and drove it for about an hour total. No CEL. Must’ve been some kind of fluke. Glad I was just over thinking lol

Not at all. I had it on a tender for almost all of that time. However for the 3 weeks it was on jackstands it was off the tender, if that matters.

This might get a bit long winded.Let me start off by saying I haven't driven my car much, if at all in the last 2-3 months between bad weather and working alot. I've noticed the last few months of driving or so I have a small puff of oil smoke right on cold starts. I'm chalking it up to...

Interested for sure. I'll take 2 in white lol

Any pics of it?

Morning guys - I'm mentally preparing for the prospect of doing a clutch in the near future. I've settled on Exedy Hypersingle since it seems like that seems like the go to on here. My main question - my car is an early 2011 car so I'm assuming it probably has the throwout bearing spacer that...

Sounds good - thank you

Yeah? Both comp and rebound?
