well i want to prevent not fix.

 

its true 200k miles is nothing for a properly cared for motor, hell my friend had a van that reached 880k miles before catching fire.

 

so what does a car act like when it looses compression?

 

uhhh... seriously... take a wild guess.

 

im guessing the car has to work alot harder to go. but how much do you nismo think it should cost to get the engine completely rebuilt?

 

all right, lets see if he knows what compression is....

 

dude its gonna cost about 5-6k for a stock rebuild about 7-8k to do it with some good parts. long block wise.

 

im not sure how to explain it and i don't want to look even more stupid

 

and would i want to get the long block rebuilt

 

too late.

 

ok it has to due with the compression in the cylinder leaking and it makes it harder for the crankshaft to spin and making it harder to go

 

wrong! less compression means easier to spin actually. means less explosion in cylinders though

 

cool thanks for the info. but it makes it harder on the car

 

riigghhhtt.

 

so hoov if i do get it done the rebuild what would you recommend?

 

manly rods and JE pistons for performance but thats like 1k right there in parts lol

 

DDDDUUUUUUUUDDDDDDEEEEEE!!!!! Stop with the rebuilding already!!!!!!!!!!!! The motor doesn't need to be rebuilt. Freaking blow your money you don't have on something else... like your Ronald McDonald choo choo train.

 

but i want it to be nice something i can wake up and not worry about it ever

 

Rebuilding an engine won't give you that. Especially if YOU of all people are rebuilding it.

Driving style, and how you take care of the motor will affect how long it will last and how many probs you will have.

 

you shouldnt have to worry about your car if you take care of it and know how to properly care for it.

 

then go buy a freaking Civic.

 

ARP bolts and studs all the way around, melling oil pump, 85T cams, matched valve springs with titanium retainers, adjustable cam gears, enlarged oil pan, mild port and polish on the head. with port matched upper and lower plenums, gutted upper, and ported exhaust manifolds, going into a gt25 turbo and a custom 3" exhaust. now for the driveline i wouldnt mind a fidanza flywheel with a os giken double plate clutch. on a 30a trans with a 3.54 LSD.

 

is that what it takes for a rebuild?

 

no, that about covers what i want when i have to rebuild something..

forgot to add wiesco forged pistons with total seal rings, clevite bearings, vgdtt tomei forged h-beam rods.

 

Those are the PARTS for a rebuild. An actual REBUILD requires you putting it all together... torquing everything through the right sequence, and to the right spec... putting things on the right way and in the right order. Making sure the clearances are within spec....
