so I thought I'd try here....
Replacing Blown Engine ~ Should I modify the replacement?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have a 2000 ES 1.8L auto, the engine isn't really blown, just f'd up a piston when it sucked up water through the CAI Don't ask!!! anyways, the car has 90k miles on it and I found 3 2000 1.8L engines for good prices with under 40k on them. Was thinking of just running a few checks flushing the oil system and the cooling system, making sure everything seems ok, then dropping it in the car. (2 of the places will let me see it run before I purchase) also I found 2 decent 2.0Ls
so my questions are:
are there any worth while machine shop mods to make? porting? polishing? valve job?
any good cams?
timing gears?
any other ideas?
thanks guys.
