So a guy was gona put a junkyard 7afe in my car for me for 1260. Then i found a guy that said he advised against a junkyard motor. The new guy is gonna rebuild it " bottom to top" for 1100. Thing is, he said if hes gona rebuild it, he said i would need a new clutch and throwout bearing. Is that right? I just put a new clutch in a couple years ago. He said he woukdnt guarantee his work unless he puts a new clutch in. Is he bull****ting me, or do i really need a clutch since hes gona rebuild? You guys think i made the right.choice by rebuilding instaed of junkyard engine? Thanks

After removing, installing and rebuilding various engines thru the years I think it is advisable to have a new clutch assembly included in the installation. Considering the time and work involved, it should not be that much more money relatively - just request a copy of the parts invoice for warranty purposes and retention of the core parts for refund if the new clutch requires core trade-in.
In my view, removing and rebuilding the current engine is easier and you reduce the risk of junk engines. Unless you want an entirely different engine for performance, then may be worth the purchase from a company that provides completely rebuilt engine with a warranty. As always, comes down to cost vs risk! Good Luck... --------------------  I spent my money on wild women, partying, gambling, expensive timepieces, and my 6GC - the rest of it I wasted! |
