I posted this in another section of these forums like an idiot I realise that this is the second generation non-turbo forum, but I was wondering if anyone knows anyone selling a rebuilt or used 97-99 Eclipse GSX engine? My engine recently kinda went on me. The local mechanic shop I go to said they think it is a bad rod bearing (and possibly a warped crank). I'm having them make sure before I go and get a new engine or anything, but they recomend I get one just to be safe. They can get me one for around $4000. I'd like to find one for cheaper if I could. If anyone has one for sale or knows someone with one for a decent price let me know. Thanks.

Crankwalk only happens in rare conditions, it's just an overstated myth caused by the ignorance of dsmtuners. What the greatest % is around 7% for one year...Just rebuild your engine and make sure it is done right

I found out a couple days ago that I'll only need to get a short block. My head, cams, etc are all OK. They had the head off and everything looks great. It all turns great too. The only reason I don't do this stuff myself is because I don't own a mechanics garage with all the tools and equipment. Is there anywhere else I can look for a good 6 bolt turbo short block along with www.dsmtrader.com and www.dsmtuners.com? Thanks for you help everyone and not ripping me a new one for posting a turbo question on this site. I figured I would get ripped when I first posted
