MRDOSE Member 1,195 Member For: 17y 3m 24d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 16/05/12 04:25 AM Share Posted 16/05/12 04:25 AM So last week I bought a second hand BF MK2 from a private seller. Everything seemed perfect and it's been an awesome car. Took it in to get the box serviced before I started on some mods and it turns out it had a blown head gasket.. I was spewing and struggling to get the funds for it. Now I just found out that cylinder 5 is rooted and has a gash take out of it and is scored. I'm pretty much up sh*t creek and in absolute disbelief that this is happening to me.So what are some options I have to work with? Full rebuild? Replaced with reco engine? Machine the cylinder? Anyone been through this before? And idea on a rough price? I'm broke from buying the damn car and building my rx3 let alone having to do this now.. Who else knows what's wrong with the engine if it's this bad already..
