SubaRube Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Hey, I'm trying to decide if I should get a used JDM engine or pay the extra cash for a CCR rebuild. I figure the CCR will take less time to install and won't need new seals, timing belts and maybe tensioners, water pump, etc.. I have to pay someone to do this so labor cost is a big factor. Quality shops charge around $80-90 an hour around here (CA). My mechanic lets me provide the parts so that helps with the stuff I'll need for the used engine. What would you do? Any opinions? I've also been thinking about abandoning the GL for a Legacy. Used JDM engine - $600-650 delivered +tax ($55) CCR Rebuild - $1283 delivered no tax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edrach Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Go with CCR; we put one in our son's brat 8 years ago. It went in without any trouble and is still running strong. They also make shipping of the core return easy (if they are still taking cores). Hey, I'm trying to decide if I should get a used JDM engine or pay theextra cash for a CCR rebuild.

chef_tim Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Not sure but I may have the CCR record...... EA82T, EA81(custom), and EJ25. You will not be sorry with a CCR replacement engine. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubaRube Posted November 3, 2005 Author Share Posted November 3, 2005 And the winner is CCR!! I figure after replacing all the seals, water pump, timing stuff, and other junk, it will only be saving me a few hundred if that. USMB comes through yet again. Thanks a lot guys. Hey Tim, how are those axles you bought "new" online holding up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chef_tim Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Hey Tim, how are those axles you bought "new" online holding up? They've been on for around 2 years and not a click or grind . I'll definately be getting another set when these finally give out!!! Later, Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
