<![CDATA[DSM engine]]>I was just wondering if you guys know the best place to get an engine rebuilt around here. A friend of mine blew the engine on his 95 Talon esi and most estimates he's gettin are coming out $3500-$4000 and thats probably what the car will be worth. Anybody know of any cheaper places? Thanks.

Why would he get titanium rods and upgrades for 420a?

did i mention that i can't read? after reading the latests posts, if i were this guy... i'd send the head off to get rebuilt by a reputable "speed shop." if he just wants it to be stock... then take it to one of the local shops and have them nurse it back into shape

I thought he blew it by running it too hard or something but I guess not.

He's an awesome guy, and he's been doing a LOT of 4 cylinder motors lately.

420a's are identical from avengers, sebrings, all non turbo eclipses; they are mounted backwards on 95-99 neons.

420a's are cheap as hell... no way should it be upwards of 3500+....

unless your friend gets titanium rods and custom pistons, crankshaft, etc... i don't see it costing more than 1500 tops

PsiedTsi got one from them at a great price with just about a perfect compression test as you could ask for.
