[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 68503, member: 82"] Those engines aren't cheap to replace if the damage is more than a burnt a piston. If it got hot, there could be bultiple issues, spun bearings, scuffed bores, possibly a cracked head. Those engines are excellent, but costly to repair. As you haven't bought it yet, you really can't tell how bad it is before pulling it down. The bst i can suggest is to price it estimating the bores will need doing, head gasket, timing belt, new pistons and rings, bearings all round and a crank re-grind. The bearings may be fine, but still best to factor that in. Oh, being a turbo, they get the oil from the engine to cool them, i'd like to remove the inlet hose and ensure the compressor still spins without and end play. [/QUOTE]
