Too bad for the previous owner. But good for Tim!

lol yea so how much did you get the aveo for tim?

[Daox]

I paid $1500 and had to haul it home.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen: he works fast. :P

Yeah, I wanna get this done and running very soon. I have other projects that need my attention. Some Aveo related, some not.

It will slow down soon for a bit as I'll have to wait for parts soon. I'm still trying to decide on going 2.0L or rebuild... Still pricing out both options. I suppose I should wait until the motors all apart to make decisions though.

[reddemonx92]

well you can probably find a 2.0 Forenza engine in the junkyard that still works. Thats if your going with a 2.0 build.

[Daox]

I've checked the local salvage yards. There are none in my area that have the engine unfortunately.

By the way, if anyone wants any pictures or measurements of anything just ask. Its not too often that you have a torn apart engine to take pics and measure stuff.

I myself would like to do a rebuild on the 1.6. Like add new cams and pistons. Seems you need a lot of parts for a engine swap. And sucks that there aren't any junkyard with that engine.

[petrified.rabbit]

there is a junkyard in wi on ebay with that engine..

[Daox]

I just looked through ebay and couldn't find it. Care to share the link?
