now once i rebuild my engien would this fix the whole vacuum leaks and engine problem?

thats if the rebuild goes good?

it should fix the "engine" problem but if you just put it back togethor with all the old vac lines etc. then no it probably wont. Make sure you run new vacuum line while you have a chance..who's rebuilding your engine?

fdrefic

well.. im not starting a rebuild atm cause of no money i am saving up for a good rebuild engine maybe go street or bridge port on it if i got the money by the time i decide to do it its gnna be a shop that i know the owner of hes a really rich guy and he only hires top pro mechs and i might only be charge 3 or 400

also do u know the answers to my other question on the car not starting up and staying started?

MDD0101

make sure you know what youre getting if hes charging you 3-400

So a rich guy who employs top pro mechanics is going to give you a bridgeport motor for 3-4 hundred. No need to worry about a vac leak! You've obviously done your homework Best of luck to you.

i am talkin like if i had more money i might get street or bridge port instead of ordinally rebuilding the plain 13b engine service fee 400 but i gotta pay for the supplys

this guy only gots like 5 mechs working cause its sioux falls theres not that much pro mechs around this area

Sounds like you should stick to a street port. $400 to build a short block seems reasonable if the customer is supplying all parts.

where can i get the streetports? also how much modification will it take and such

Here's an example of one place that does it, this is a template so you can do it yourself - but if you are not experienced in it, I would try to find a shop to do it for you.

how difficult is it really to make a streetport by urself?

and how much better is it basically from just rebuilding the engine

that answer alone means that you are not prepared for diy port work.

stick with a stock rebuild, and get a mild street port.


im not sure if your rich mechanic friend knows rotary but i would recommend to save your money for a good while and send it out to a known Rotary Specialist

o yea basically i know that thats y i am jsut planing for the shops to rebuild my engine

Looks like you need to do much more research before you actually start this project. Just search "porting" and start reading.

Porting the engine will add about 10 hours to the build time.

yes i know im still noob at this -.- thats y im sticking to a regular rebuild from a shop that have exp and then i will do a port houseing later on but would i actually need to change the vacuum hoses wit the rebuild? also to my other thread and i can hear the fuels workign when i open up the flap on my afm and yea the afm still working

I would suggest replacing all the vacuum hoses while the engine is being reinstalled. It only makes sense. Also rad hoses, belts, mounts, etc.

fdrefic

lets say it will cost me about 1300 to rebuild just the engine how much more would i have to spend to replace the vacuum hoses and etc to make my car basically really healthY?

my belts are new already

the vac lines expect any where form 50 to 70 dollars ( i got vac lines and nips and the hardware to install them for around $70.00)

Just go to the local parts store and get a generic silicone vacuum line kit. About $30.
