Re: Turbo and engine restorers

It won't help you whatsoever, a complete waste of money.

The problem you'll discover with trying to rebuild that engine yourself is that you'll need to first have the cylinders bored, not honed because they'll need it. Then the OEM oversized pistons w rings run about $900 for all 4, not to mention that better connecting rods might also be in order (big $$). Add cylinder head repair (which will probably also be a good idea) and your parts and machining costs will probably exceed $2K, not to mention your time.

You'ld be better off looking for a good used '93-'95 940T engine (best B230FT) instead. My $.02, been there/done that too.
