Oil seal in the motor. (At least I think so) Removed turbos after car wouldn't stop smoking... Turbos are fine. Lots of oil in front rotor housing. Stuck my finger in there... LOTS of oil. It's all good though. Has 65k on it anyway. She's been good to me.



I have the plate on the Escort too!

Just emailed Rob @ pineapple about pricing.



Also have a contact here in STL that I can get a reman through... But I've heard some not-so-good things about them...

vosko 04-27-2003 10:30 AM

if its just the oil seals in your engine it shouldn't be that bad to rebuild it

I'm still curious as to how the hell the oil seals went... But I'm almost positive it's not the turbos... At least there's no evidence it is...



Anyway, I would rebuild it... But I don't have a very nice garage setup... And not all the tools, so I'm gonna leave it to the pros. Someday I'll be able to do it... I've rebuilt before... But not in my own shop.

the oil seals are 10 years old. they get brittle with age. when i said rebuild i meant a shop rebuild it https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Why rebuild without porting? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

vosko 04-27-2003 12:35 PM

I just don't want to go broke building the motor. I''m a poor ass Sergeant in the Army... $$ don't come too easy!



A nice port job would be cool though...
