Re: Rebuilding motor, need suggestions

All I'm saying is if you got $10 to $15,000 by all means build yourself a 2.4 and have a reputable shop do it or if your some seasoned vet of the game and really know what your doing WITHOUT SECOND GUESSING yourself. Dude is on a budget and for a DIYer its not what I would recommend a 2.3 would be less if a pain in the ass and would yield much better results.

yeah i hear ya, the 2.3 is definitely cheaper i was just trying to add that the 2.4 tends to get a bad wrap a lot of times. And dont worry me and tyler are friends so I knew about this awhile ago we're about 2 of 4 evos in the Mankato area so we talk lol

I agree with this, another reason I'd rather do a 2.3 even in my car, it sounds like with mivec might be worth going 2.3 too.

You should just stop talking and respewing shit you see online, its just providing misinformation that isn't needed.
My 2.4 was built by some old guy that never did one, turns out that shit is still taking a beating.
