...I'll just have to rebuild it. If I do rebuild it, it will be my 17th engine. The procedure with this more is very straightforward, unlike the Triumph-SAAB engine I rebuilt. Economics is the only tricky part. The cost of oversize (+.5mm) turbo pistons and the availability of good long-lasting bearings are the worst bits. Another difference is torque-to-yield head bolts. Those can get pricey as well. Exhaust valves are tricky, but that's a problem for the machinist, unless I have to buy a couple of new ones.
Other than that, it's a rebore, a hone, rebush the rod little ends, resurface the flywheel, and a valve job. The rest is careful assembly and patience. The big problem is time. Now I have to go out and buy some clunker to drive while I work on this car.
