I think I will work on pulling the engine this weekend and then rebuild it. What is the estimated cost of rebuilding the engine including machine work? I imagine I would want to have the block and head surfaced and the walls bored. Im thinking about buying another working engine to throw in while I rebuild this one.

@Yotasnap I will look into those theorys after work today. The cylinder walls are glossy but i cant feel any ridges with my nail. the bolt was in place and did not seem to tight. but yes the block has oil all over it.

@stock88 Engnbldr is just a couple hours away from me Ill definatly check them out for parts.

 

@slowey Should I just buy some grade 10 bolts that will fit the block. I feel Like using the bolts that hold in the head is a bad idea.

 

Engines not that heavy. Any old bolts will work. I wouldn't hesitate to use the head bolts, but better safe than sorry if you can easily find the right size

 

Please do some searches regarding oil consumption on fresh rebuilt 22re prior to making your choice of engine internals.

 

Will do JE I was planning on getting it all from engnbldr tho. I have heard they're good.
