I have an 89 N/A MR2 and my bottom end is worn out the rods are about shot you can hear them when you turn the car off. but I just had the top half rebuilt for a total charge of 1,287.93 for head gasket set, valve job, head got machined, water pump, timing belt, and fuel injectors. what I was wondering was if I should buy a new motor (used, professionally rebuilt) or just get the bottom half rebuilt. either way I'm gonna keep the engine I have now. please help I can't make up my mind.

Prolly cheaper in the long run to do the rebuild mate. At least you know you're starting from scratch then. :thumbsup:

Make sure the bottom end has never been worked on before.

If the shells are standard and the shaft will stand a re-grind, go for it. :thumbsup:

If the shaft is creamed (knacked!) it could be a tad costly. :(
