how much does it all come out to when its said and done. i will rebuild it myself, besides the machine work. btw, it's a 12 valve carbureted sohc out of a crx.

 

and is there a list of all the parts i need for the rebuild? the engine has 190k and still runs good, just that it smokes when warming up.

 

factory parts or aftermarket? it will cost atleast $800

 

800 dollars, nah...

just rip the thing apart, clean everything all nice, replace the belts and gaskets. that should fix the smoke

 

that would be nice if that would work. don't i need new valve seals, and piston rings, hone the cylinders etc?

and here are the pics of it smoking, what needs to be done to fix the smoke and pass deq? looks like its burning oil and water(maybe)

That won't help with bad rings or valve guides.

 

800 just for parts? i don't know if i want to put that much into it. i am either going to rebuild this(cheap) or just buy another engine, and hope it doesn't smoke. i'm about ready to rip this engine apart soon, just don't know what i'm getting myself into.

 

u can prob buy a JDM motor for it 1.5 or something for cheaper than what it will cost for rebuild

 

yea, but the engine is carbureted, that means new everything, engine harness, fuel lines, new transmission. alot of work. i would if i could, but too much work and money for me right now.
