Few weeks ago I bought Galant vr4 ralliart with engine failure. Quick decision car send to mechanic another engine bought from breaker (EBay). Took mechanic nearly 4 weeks to work out that donor engine is not working either ( he tried to turn it over and is something blocking it). Don’t know what he did but have a total non runner and 2 faulty engines. I called well known garage they want around £9000 for engine rebuild. Buying another engine after loosing around £1000 is just a scary thing.
I have seen Legnum in manual on EBay but with quite high mileage and apparently noisy lifters ( how true is it don’t know). For £2000 plus swap costs again not a wise investment.
Only reasonable thing at the moment is jerrycan with petrol and burn it.
What in your opinion it will be best move?
Thank you for any opinions.
