In 4-5 weeks i will have 3-4k for another engine and if i were to part out this etec that extra cash could go towards a Optimax 135-175hp or a Honda 130hp
I would be shattered if i repaired the etec for it to blow up again due to something so tiny as a bad injector
Whats your thoughts?
I am not one bit doubting my rebuild skills just second guessing weather not replacing the crank and the known injector problem and keeping those parts in use is just leaving me thinking
