am i getting ripped off?, rebuild engine.... Options

[celicaluva79]

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

A clutch normally lasts up to 5 years* I've seen clutches go out in less then 3 months it all depends on the driver, is he charging you labor to install the new clutch ?? If I was rebuilding someones motor I would just charge them for parts only because he does know that changing the rear main seal (part of rebuild) requires you to take the clutch out right ?? So why charge someone extra for labor when you have to remove the clutch anyways ??

Having the motor rebuild is definitely a better choice and having a mechanic with a reputable reputation and that you trust will benifit you even more. Like I've told a lot of people it doesn't matter where you get your car service it all depends on the person doing the work.
