bemmaboi 0 Report post Posted May 11, 2005 Help NEEDED!!!! My cambelt slipped a tooth and has bent the valves, The motor runs but sounds so bad, and is like a bag of nails.... Here are the opions...... Opiton 1 Check head, put in new valve guides...maybe new valves. Opiton 2 New engine is in order. What, and how much to do? Is it pricey for a sr20, 4age turbo? I have just over $2000 - $2700 Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gus 5 Report post Posted May 11, 2005 ouch 325i engine prob easiest bet...could build a 2.7 whilst its out too i dont think you could do an sr20 that cheap, 4age would be slow i imagine and a rebuild of a 320i engine is a waste of time IMO good luck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CaM 0 Report post Posted May 11, 2005 lol, you wont get a decent 4age, gearbox, engine management etc turbs for that, considering everyone's prces on that sorta sh*t right now (damn initial d ) go the replacement engine.... maybe even a 2.7 conversion Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have just over $2000 - $2700 Thanks I have a M20B20 you can have.The Cam/rockers are worn but the valves are fine. You could either put your rocker gear/Cam into the head or the valves into your head!?!?! Like wise with the pistons & rods if needed. Drop me a PM if you want it.
