Hi! I have a 04 VR 6spd. My engine developed a coolant seal failure about 6 months ago at 137k miles (original engine). I found an engine on Craigslist for $2000 from Japan with supposed less than 50k miles. They agreed to perform a compression check for me tomorrow when I go in. I'm also concerned about the possibility of a coolant seal failure tho. Is there any way for me to test to see if the water jacket seal has failed? Thank you!
Gonna throw in a new rad and cooling fan control kit while I'm at it. Maybe an oil cooler fan.
P.s. for those of you wondering why I don't just go to a verified rebuilder or buy a full new engine it's because I'm saving to get a 13brew conversion so I just want something in the mean time. I do have a secondary car. I have around 15k saved for it so far from the past 5 months. I was quoted 20-30k for turn key swap from force-fed but I'm adding in some oversized oil coolers, a bigger rad, high performance fans, stuff like that. Thanks!
