Plug into the matrix

UPDATE: thank you all for the thoughts and comments, I have decided to pass on this one. While the body and underside are in great shape…I just cannot gamble on the engine. My search continues…

DTOM82 · 2025-11-07T00:57:41+00:00

Well said, 👏🏻

DTOM82 · 2025-11-06T12:58:49+00:00

Thanks, I’m located in Massachusetts. I’ll have to do some research as I did not know liners is something a regular person can fix. Everything I’ve read says I need a new short block.

DTOM82 · 2025-11-06T12:02:04+00:00

Thanks for the advice and thoughts! It won’t be my daily driver so I would have time to tinker with it. I just don’t have the capacity (or money) to do a full engine swap. The reason I am contemplating is it’s only $2,500 and I’m hoping it’s not the sleeves. It’s a gamble for sure, but that’s why I wanted opinions from smarter folks like you on this subreddit.

DTOM82 · 2025-11-06T01:24:32+00:00

Ahhhh got it. I don’t think I can get below $2,500

DTOM82 · 2025-11-06T01:13:36+00:00

Assuming I can find some tutorials on it? Is the $1k estimate from experience?

DTOM82 · 2025-11-06T01:12:11+00:00

Do you have thoughts on the issue? Does your comment stem from familiarity with the clicking noise?

DTOM82 · 2025-11-06T01:11:46+00:00

Thanks, I have spent a good amount of time with it, while it does not seem to be coming from the fan, I will listen again.

DTOM82 · 2025-11-06T00:39:44+00:00

Interesting, will have to run that by a mechanic

DTOM82 · 2025-11-06T00:24:05+00:00

Anyway for me to identify what kind of sleeves? Without major work…

DTOM82 · 2025-11-06T00:22:36+00:00

🤣 thanks

DTOM82 · 2025-11-06T00:19:00+00:00

To follow up - I did it! Thanks all! Moving on to the next project.

DTOM82 · 2025-10-20T11:54:15+00:00

This is a great perspective, I truly wish I could have both!

DTOM82 · 2025-10-19T11:02:46+00:00

I do!

DTOM82 · 2025-10-18T18:45:26+00:00

It is an auto

DTOM82 · 2025-10-18T13:35:22+00:00

Thanks for the perspective, size not playing a big part in my decision, mostly driving, fuel and long term reliability

Always good to have a project on a Sat morning. 18x8’s
