Well my engine is leaking from alot of places right now, Not huge leaks but i do have to replace alot of seals, also there is oil inside my timing cover and the timing belt needs to be changed....So who here has rebuilt the 5S? I see the price to replace everything in my engine will be the cheapest way for me doing it myself, i just cant afford a mechanic right now...BUT the only thing holding me back is my lack of knowledge at this point. I am pretty determined and would love to do this task, but how difficult will this be? Thanks..

QUOTE Im wanting to do everything because my engine is at 260k now, I figured if i take the engine out i want to make it worth it. Ahh i am the same as you with little things like that,,,How long did it take you to do yours? What were some of the more problematic parts to the rebuild that would be good to get some info on? And did you use OEM pistons or did you put in some others? Any help is appreciated thanks for the reply! It took so long that I'm not done yet haha. Granted school and work got in the way for a good part of the year. As far as problematic parts go, I was stressing over measuring parts to see if they were in spec. Its a total pita but absolutely necessary. I stuck with oem pistons because they were in good shape and because the 3s bottom end can hand a ton of power stock. QUOTE Literally doing that right now... it sucks. just buy the 3m roloc bristle brush like I did and call it a day. Strips the stuff right off and leaves behind a nice surface --------------------  |
