[QUOTE="Flyer58, post: 426835, member: 18629"] Did the rod blow a hole in the block? Goofy first question but is the cost of any concern? Do you have knowledgeable friends willing to help (in a good way)? It's a great learning experience and not impossible to learn about especially with the help of this forum. I just rebuilt my 2.5L and AX-5 for about $1500 total for parts and machine shop work, plus some other odds and ends that were broken. The general consensus was to ditch the 2.5L for something bigger which sounds easy but doesn't end there. There's several supporting items that are needed. If you're swapping in a used engine/trans that one thing, if you're putting in a fresh rebuild it comes with a higher cost. Mine is a daily driver I just wanted to flip for a profit but like a stray dog that shows up you feed it and next thing is you want to keep it. :) The previous owner was quoted $7000 for a rebuild and given the number of hours put in I believe that was accurate.
