That is now my dilemma. Mechanic's diagnosis of spun rod bearing, or something else gone in the bottom end. Cheapest used engine I could find was $1800 plus shipping. Condition unknown. For the same amount, I can order new parts and rebuild it myself. Then I know what I've got. I've rebuilt an MGB and a Toyota R22 engine with success. Can't afford a new car right now.

Should I attempt this by myself? I have some tools & and engine stand.

Is this an difficult engine to rebuild? Hate to junk such a nice car.

Where do I find shop manuals? I have a WIS disc but can't get it to work on my computer.
Any suggestions?
