I've been planning for some time now to rebuild the engine in my 97 Avenger. With summer comming up the time is quickly approaching and I need to start saving cash. The engine has 190,000 miles on it so you can imagine the problems that need to be fixed.
I was wondering if you guys could give me a ballpark on the cost for such a job. I would plan to do the mechanical stuff myself, while taking the heads in to have them rebuilt so all I would really be looking at are parts.
Honestly, I'm not sure. It would depend on how much more they are. I would hate to take the engine apart and not put something better in if they were only $100 more than OEM. Foremost I need it to be running and reliable.
well...I wanna say 2 grand for everything including labor and parts, that's somewhat of an exile racing estimate. totaly worth it. I mean....200 horses...in your sebring or avenger...*drooling* rebuilding, you have to break your engine in again also...as if it was new....and umm...takes a lot more time. if you pay labor by the hour..that's gonna suck, there are a lot of cautions you have to take with putting things back together of course. The parts you have to replace can range anywhere between $100 to $1000 and that's not everything. so..right there I'd wanna guess $1000 more for almost 40 more hp...Id take that.
