Message: <blockquote data-quote="lortan" data-source="post: 69490" data-attributes="member: 9934"><p>Hi all. I just acquired a 1995 853 with a dead engine. I want to start by getting a good service manual. I usually like to have a paper manual but I don't have time to wait for the dealership to order the thing in. Is there a good manual on pdf that anyone here would recommend? The engine is out of the machine and completely disassembled. The pistons are scored and the crank looks like it may have spun a bearing. The guy that I bought it from had a service tech at a local shop look at it when he noticed it was running really rough. When the guy went to the shop to check on his machine he had the engine completely dismantled. long story short he never got it repaired. I figure I have three options here. 1 I could bring the engine in and have it rebuilt/repaired at a local shop 2 I can order a rebuild kit w/ crank from ebay for about $1300 3 I have found a long block on ebay for approx $3800 including shipping Both 2 an 3 is basically using parts made in China. I'm not so sure about the quality of the parts and I was hoping someone here has had experience with them. I am trying to get this done as economically as possible here so the Chinese parts look like they may be my only choice - the engine shop I called has yet to call me back and I suspect it will be a high quote as it is pretty busy here in most shops. Any advise here would be appreciated. Loren</p></blockquote><p></p>
