My 5sfe head is shot I currently have 188,+++ on my engine so I am getting another 5sfe with about 85,000 to replace it. I I have about as much time as I have millions of $ none basically. So my point is I want to estimate how much time it would take for me to do it, compared to dropping it off to a shop. My wife thinks it would be better for me to do it to save money along with painting crap in the house installing this an that building a patio and working at my regular job. Then she says well sell it an get a new care thats when we had a falling out lol.

same engine shouldn't take longer than a day. If you have mechanical competence and a buddy to lend a hand with the right tools.
(i think we should have a 6gc competition, to see which coast/center of the us, in a teams of 4 can swap an identical motor the fastest) This post has been edited by playr158: Oct 9, 2008 - 7:10 AM |

The team will be made up of Will (me), John (runninglow), and Greg (Muggs). Its on like donkey kong. -------------------- 98 Celica gt red- totaled deer
