amatthews45 Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 Your be really lucky to get a decent engine cheaper than that buddyWell I will just keep holding outThese engines are known to fail and no idea why they fetch this kinda money I can do a rebuild for 600 then I have a zero millage block no idea why someone would pay 500 for a engine that could just give up anytime Link to post Share on other sites
Dean_mc88 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 ive never seen any fail even under mega death abuse, only fail if there not looked after ah well the lad I know isn't selling the engine just parts off the car Link to post Share on other sites
amatthews45 Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 Well the one I bought has had bottom end failure and quick Google shows bottom end failure is common. I am getting tempted to get a n/a block in car while I build up the broken block up I set my budget for 400 for block since that's all I paid for the car haha Link to post Share on other sites
fremyjay Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 So you have just brought a glanza and Dont know anything about them, these engines are bulletproof if treated properly and the engines go for that much they ain't a shitty corsa or saxo buddy, ask any of the guys on here how reliable these engines can be Link to post Share on other sites
amatthews45 Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 Well I know a little and I have seen a few fail I not worked on shitty saxos and likes of them cars mate Some say I jumped into the deep end but I will sort this Car out Link to post Share on other sites
fremyjay Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Yeah they are bulletproof I've had a few, if they have been treated badly they break like any other car, the thing is the price of glanzas and starlets are going up in price and so are the parts Link to post Share on other sites
