Can anyone recommend an Engine Reconditioner in Sydney or NSW South Coast?
I'm looking to have an EA 3.9L MPI engine reconditioned. I'm tempted to try it myself, but I don't really have the facilities or time.
Some questions:
1. If you can't recommend anyone, have you had a bad experience with anyone?
2. What should I be paying to have the engine reconditioned - long motor? Not hotted up - just reconditioned.
3. Any advantage in exchange versus reconing my own motor?
4. How much for fitting?
I have an engine in the EA which has done 234 000 km, doesn't chew oil, overheat, etc. Oil pressure is low when she has been for a run, so i presume the bearings are on their way out. Otherwise it's a damn good motor.
I'm planning to buy another engine from a forum member, and have that reconditioned. Shortly after, I will replace the old engine for a recon job. I'm then thinking about reconing the old motor over some time, but doing a lot of it myself & getting it peformance modded for future use.
All advice appreciated.
