Head gasket

Purple5 I'm at gladstone but the cars at an engineering place in tweed, he's the only bloke that would even look at it for me.. And 10-12 is a bit ugly if you ask me..

Dasic1 he said the motor has been cooked pretty well done he's informed me that every part of the motor would basically be made from scratch or brand new, I asked him if I would have any extra power and he said no, I can't justify spending that much for a strong STANDARD motor, what's missing from your engine mate?

Justace what's the difference between gen 3 and gen 2 , there's plenty of gen 2 around ..... Thanks for all the help so far guys

i think you need to pay TERRY at ROAD and TRACK a visit. they know the mr2 like th back of their hands, go and have a chat to them and few other places before forking out the cash.
im sure the QLD boys should be able to help you with other mechanics around the area
maybe try posting in the QLD section as well
cheers

Yeah I think I need a different mechanic this bloke wil charge me a fortune to take a motor out of half cut and **** around, anyone want a cash job lol

If you already have a gen3 stick with that.

Options you have is to buy a halfcut, use the motor to replace yours and sell of all the extra bits you wont need.

Or find someone else to rebuild said motor.

I can't remember exactly but from the top of my head there is no sump, oil pump and pick up.
It's in unknown condition so would best suit a rebuild but I was thinking maybe bits could be used to fix yours, but without knowing what's wrong its a bit hard.

Sounds like you need to maybe find a new mechanics, even if you need to have your car towed a fair way

Has he disassembled the engine?

gen3 only the ADM/GRP A st205 had EGR/pollution gear. i've never seen a JDM gen3 with pollution gear.

just forget about the whole U on the end. the early st162 adm 3sge(non turbo) and the st185's had EGR, but you'll delete that with a rebuild etc.

but as said, no turbo JDM 3sgte i've come acrosss has had egr, only ADM. and seeing as the turbo mr2 was never released in australia, it means your JDM gen3 doesn't have EGR
9exhuast gas recirculation)

you need to list whats involved in the 10-12k. that sounds like it would involve a turbo upgrade?

if you want to go full rebuild, source all the parts via dylmrt as it's alot cheaper than getting the mechanic to supply as they will go through their retailers and you'll be paying top RRP australian over the counter prices.
