DonutsDemise Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 my motor is knocking and I really want to just drop a brand new motor from myswedishparts.com into my car. the car runs fine (just knocks), drives fine, the knocking just drives me nuts. i have tryed everything without opening the engine, which if i were to open i would just bring it to a shop to rebuild it. weighing the cost vs. benefits, what should i do? by the way, for the T5M not the NA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyfishing3 Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 if i was going to pay to have a motor built i would have aaron or CJ do it, i wouldn't just buy a crate motor from some .cOM unless its aerospace or VMS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oreo931 Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 i have heard terrible things about vms thoughIt was a joke.Not sure where you are trying to go in terms of the car...Just want a fresh engine?I got mine from Volvo and Saab dismantlers in Cali. Great company, great reputation. Got a 93k mile 850R motor for $1100 shipped to my door. Shipping was $450.They specialize in these cars, so if you are looking for a "junkyard" engine, I'd go with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
