I wouldn't trust a Walmart mechanic to completely take apart my engine to replace the rings. Take it to a shop, otherwise, you will not like the results.

He is real mechanic. He din't all ways work for wally DC. Matter of fact he has his own project car. Its a dodge dart, and he has rebuilt it from the ground up. I would'nt do it I din't trust him. He also works on some of my step dads ranch equipment. I trust him. He knows a lot. He not just some jiffy lube guy. Plus I don't know what your talking about I'v seen them work on the engines.

OK, suit yourself. Just don't complain when your engine is completely ripped apart and he doesn't know how to put it back together.

You were'nt listing were you. I'v seen him take engine a part and put them back together. He rebuilt my step dads 92 ford diesl engine. But maybe your right considering he works mostly on traditional engines. But he will tell me if he can't do it. Any ways how much does it cost to have the dealership do it.

*** UPDATE ***

I have now merged the two threads.

As a general rule, please use a single thread to discuss one topic whenever possible.
Thanks.

About $900 but you get the piece of mind that it was done right by someone who works on your model car all day long.

I was listening but if he is a true mechanic but he now works at walmart changing brakes and oil all day, that tells you something there. h:

Looks pretty good. I don't care for the "lowrider" interior, but I guess you can live with that with a B18C5 under the JDM conversion hood.

And 220 isn't bad. The others seem to be good, so until you are blowing smoke out the exhaust pipe, I wouldn't worry.
