3sgte mechanic needed Options

[Malhar95]

My cars been sitting for a while now and sadly I don't have space to fix it myself.
Basically it needs the main/rod bearing replaced since I ran out of oil and had a knock. It knocks little past 3k now after I added oil. Obviously I've stopped driving the car to prevent more damage.


I need someone in the houston area who's willing to either replace just the bearings and do a timing belt job too since it was leaking from there. OR swap out the motor with another replacement. I see them going for $1100 average with the wiring and sometimes transmission. (If lucky)


If that's the case we just need to take the old one out and put the new one.

It's a 2nd gen 3sgte with a s54

Chances are its not a bent rod. Its most likely a rod bearing where the material has gone away. I have pictures of this in my 7A build thread.

Malhar, since you are in Katy, you can go to my buddies shop in Sealey. http://www.ddperformanceresearch.com He is a former Toyota engineer and has a bad ass shop. Tell him that I sent you.

I talked to them, since I went there before on ur referall for my rx8 ls swap,

Since they work by hour it's coming out of my budget. Close to the 3k range. Which isnt really reasonable for a simple swap for me. Their work is hands down amazing by ALL means, but for this job, its not smart for me.

Unless u can hook me up lol
