My '90 2.5L turbo is in serious need of a head gasket. It is also making a
distrubing knocking noise at idle from deep inside the engine. Since I'm
going to bear the brunt of the head gasket repair my Indy suggested
comparing the cost to an entire engine rebuild. Does anyone know of an
outfit selli
Bill,
The vent issue sounds like either a vacuum problem or the vacuum pods
controlling the vents are going bad. You could check them with a mity vac to
ensure they are good.
New front fenders are pretty cheap. Try Rusty or search the net. I have one
in my shed which wasn't used on a rebuild proje
Thanks for the feedback guys. I'm going to do a cost comparison between the
head gasket job and a rebuild and see what the numbers show. Used engines
seem to be very scarce so I haven't pursued that avenue. I'll let you know
my findings.

Thanks Tom I will keep your suggestion in mind regarding the injectors.
Probably will take them to the injector shop as part of the process. As far
as Donalds suggestion regarding a replacement engine, I'm wondering what
that might cost? I recall hearing prices for a crate engine at $6k and up.
Any
