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...

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.

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

A nice port job would be cool though...
