It uses about 1/4 litre of oil for every couple of thousand miles, and I have no reason to believe there is anything wrong inside it at all.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

Autofarm does this, but its pricey. You could probably change it for a GT3 for less.

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My old 6-4S is still much enjoyed @ 70K miles on it, sounds right, goes well, understated, park it anywhere and it does everything I need it to do for a daily driver, but I know the engines are prone to bore scoring / IMS issues. It uses about 1/4 litre of oil for every couple of thousand miles, and I have no reason to believe there is anything wrong inside it at all. However, if/when it lets go, does anyone in the UK do a 3.8l or 4.0l exchange engine package with some cams in and the IMS fix done..?, another 50-60bhp is all that it needs along with some GT3 front brakes for when you lean on it hard..! if I had an X51++ motor that would be just fine.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks MTR, I know the company they do a 3.9l motor, but can't find any prices or specs on their website.. What's your best guess for 1 of these..? Also I'm not looking to make a GT3, I've had a 7.1, but it was just too harsh as a daily driver and the heavy clutch drove me nuts in traffic, if an exchange engine unit package was available at a sensible price I might consider it before anything goes pop with mine.

8k for a standard rebuild maybe. What the op is talking about will be 15k+. Buy a newer better car. Simples.
