Right so most of you may know, my car developed a bad habit of smoking, well. i took it to sly, the verdict was the seals are fine, he's taken a look from the inlet side and they look ok, now i've took it to another Mechanic/friend who also deals with just performance cars and he's telling me that they way it smokes (only on start up and when revving, driving along normal is fine) that its deffo just the valve seals.
Now heres my dilemma, to take the heads off get the valves done heads skimmed new gaskets etc.. im looking at around £700-750 including everything (is that high?)
To have a full rebuild sly is quoting around or about £2000
now i've found an engine in ireland on the 350z fb page its got 23k on the clock, the only proof of mileage is the clocks, but its £800 delivered to my door. (1000 euro)
Any ideas people? i dont know how to confirm if the last one is legit, i mentioned it was worried about sending that much money over fb and he said if your worried use paypal but send it as a friend which is obviously a no lol. i dont think he got what he was saying though i added him as a friend and he has a normal fb account so i dont see him being a scammer.
What would you do? could you help? any ideas would be great! I hear the zedshed are good with things like this?!
Anyone?
Help?
Please...
lol.
