Does anyone know a good mechanic in Lakeland Florida? I am willing to just hire someone who knows what they are doing. |
OK I had a mechanic stop by today, he showed how to do a compression test and leak test. Bottom line there is little to know compression. Without taking the motor apart he said I will need to at least breakdown and rebuild the top end of the motor.
So I need some help here, what parts will I need to rebuild the top end of the motor, and is there a link with directions?
Has anyone on here rebuilt their engine? what was the cost and how hard is it? Or should I look for a salvaged engine? Thanks for any help.
