joohnnybgood Report post Posted September 4 If yours doesn't have a hole in the side of it and is rebuildable I can rebuild it for you. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't know for sure, I think it's just a head gasket but I would want to go through it and get it right. What is a top estimate on the rebuild and where are you located? I am in Snowflake.

joohnnybgood Report post Posted September 4 Sure. It'll be a rough estimate as it could change once the engine gets taken apart and actually see what's damaged and worn. Let's communicate through PM and you can give me your number to communicate easier. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tony Nile Report post Posted September 4 You could also look at a JDM replacement engine 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sjpitts Report post Posted September 4 I have always heard that swapping in a later model 3.4 is the way to the go. The 3.0 had issues, and the 3.4 solves a bunch of them. I would look into that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would look into that. The 3.4 swap is most certainly the way to go. It is a little costly, but with a 3.4 you do not loose power, like you would with a 22re swap. And the 3.4 is an amazing engine if its maintained. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
