Engine Question
If i were to buy a used evo, and the engine just completely died. What should i do?
should i get a new engine? Do the dealors sell this too? How much would this probably be?
Engine rebuild? Would this be as strong and reliable as it came originally?
What would u do and how much would u spend?

haha no i was just wondering? really u can make a blown engine stronger? i didnt know that. How about high-mileage engines, is it better to rebuild it after it dies or just buy a new one? lol imagine a 400whp evo with like 250k miles hahahaha. Smoked ill call u within the next day or two ive been busy, and i still have to order the stuff =D

in regards to the engine, i would have to say it depends on what went wrong with it. you would have to weigh the options and the costs of rebuilding it versus buying a new one.
and i would would definately not go to the dealership, i would look around in the region sections for a reputable shop in your area. the work and the price will most likely be much better.

You cant make a blown engine stronger, UNLESS you put stronger/new parts in it FIRST
. good luck, if you rebuild a motor, let us know.

You need to go to a mechanic so that they can take the engine apart and see what happend. Then you take it from there. I wouldn't recomend you going to a dealership unless you have a warranty. You could always go to TT their in NJ and if you search you'll see that alot of people have been happy with their work and customer service.
