After being through my own ordeal w/ a bad engine after a high initial cost, I would strongly suggest sitting down and doing a very thorough cost benefit analysis before you go any further w/ $$$.

you can get a reman engine from a highly regarded shop (Metric Motors in CA) for about $6k - $7k. Do not rebuild this engine if there is NO compression in one cylinder. Unless there is an incredibly forgiving reason like.. the prechamber is missing. If your engine has comprimised one of its pistons, its MOST LIKELY the end - cash-wise. Some times used engines show up, especially in CA. I have never bought one.


you said 'custom' turbo - that means the car did not originally have a turbo? You may have a cracked piston head.
