Short block advice
« on: February 15, 2005, 19:25:53 »
It appears that after 181,000 miles it is time to rebuild the engine for the first time.  I am considering buying a remanufactured short block from Metric Motors in California.  Does anyone have experience with their engines?

Yes.  I have a new Metric engine.  My understanding is that they have a very good reputation.

I also understand they are one of the best in the business. I had a similar engine (W180) done 10+ years ago.    -JP-
