This is not a probability of success.

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.

POST 2Original post

It depends on how an where it is cracked - and how good the welding company that fixes it is. In the US a new cylinder (without the labor to install it) is over $2500.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

a ROW reman engine from sunset stands me up 12000US$ including shipping..

POST 4Original post

Knowing the level of expertise among HK mechanics, I would not go the rebuild route...do it right and less headaches over the long term.

POST 5Original post

i would take advantage of the weak dollar and get the reman engine what's the labor rate in HK?

POST 6Original post

^^HKD is pegged to the USD so no advantage there.

POST 7Original post

i'd buy a used head from a salvage yard & have it serviced by a machine shop and installed in the car.

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post
