My AP1 with approx 145k threw a CEL a couple days back after running a little off for a few days. The code said misfiring on all cylinders so I took to a local reputable mechanic (TC Performance in Arvada, CO) and he said cyl 2 is done for. The compression test came back at 120 on cylinder 2 and a 45% leak down..all others were fine...He quoted me approx 7,500$ for used motor and swap and 8,100$ for OEM rebuild...not even sure where to start...all suggestions are more than welcome and appreciated.

Thanks, Matt

8100 for a rebuild? I am in the wrong profession...

Did the leakdown show bad valves, hg, or rings?

LAp1

rings..

glitter in oil from what they think is deteriorating thrust washers

sleeve it? bore it? swap it? sell it? what would you do if you were in my shoes?

Buy a jdm one and swap it quick... That is a steep price for repair work

You can buy a whole other car for 8500. Dont even do that route.

agreed. car is only worth 8k with running motor. itd be foolish of me to pay cost of whole car just to rebuild motor.

approx how cheap could i get away with a mid mileage swap if a buddy and i were to tackle it ourselves?
