Wtb: gen 2 3sge motor

Hi guys
So upon inspecting my car today testing some sensors etc
I noticed I have oil pissing out in a lot more places than I first thought
So instead if spend 2.5k building a very good head with cams etc

I think I should cut my losses and purchase a lower km engine and rebuild it with forged internals
And cams etc

I will be doing this myself with the help if a few tradesman mechanics

I want to keep the cost of an engine low
I don't want a **** box tho

Let me know what you guys have

Even if you have an immaculate engine I would consider.
P.s I don't want to turbo it
I'm happy with my na as it is also I'm a year and a bit away from open licence
Thanks guys
Ethan

Wish I could
However
The money I can't afford to go beams :/
And I don't think my engine will last untill I can afford to
I need to get this sorted within a few months

One of those oil leaks involves head coming off to fix the head gasket leaking oil
Cam and cranks seals are pissing oil by the looks
I have had enough of this engine
It woul cost me more time and money and without a car rather than
Keep topping it up with oil by a decent engine, rebuild and throw a vrs kit at it over a month or so than drop it in over a weekend
Get a blue slip etc
And I'll have a basically near new engine
For near the same cost

At this rate to fix the oil leaks
Head off and recondition 1000-2200 if I put cams in etc
Cam and crank seals- 600$
Sump seal- 350$
Oil pumps leaking
Rocker cover again
Has a fair amount of blow by

Another engine
500-1000$
Head rebuild with cams and full vrs 1500$
Rings and bearings 650$
I'll do all the labour
With mechanic
New acc belts and water pump 200$
Job done.

If the engine is really bad as you said, just replace it with identical one. Most economical lol for ~1 year til full licence.
But if you insist I would rather Beams>rebuild/internal upgrade because you will spend about the same DIY-ing.
 
I have a feeling once you crack open your engine there may be unforeseen contingencies...
 

i have a known good running gen 2 engine. i took it out of a car to fit a BEAMS. best to phone me for details and i'll go look over it while you are on the phone
