MK3 Engine Replacement
Hi all,
Just had my car for over2 months now...
Already burning oil (precats were gutted before I purchased the car) and have been told by a garage that my piston rings need replacing (either that or the valve seals need doing).
All in all, it's a job that'll cost almost as much as just buying a new engine.
Mine's only done 54k miles to date so I don't know what to do - buy a reconditioned engine or get this one rebuilt?
Also, does anyone know anywhere that I can get (midlands/north west(Liverpool)) a new engine+fitting done?
Thanks in advance,
Jason.

Re: MK3 Engine Replacement
YVS Performance in Leeds does all things MR2, Mainly works with Mk1 and Mk2 but what Simon doesn't know about Engine rebuilding isn't worth knowing.
