what do i do ...iv been saving 4 an s2 for a while now ..i origanly wanted a minter but 1 has come up 4 £900 with exelent body work no rust and exelent interia...BUT The big butt...its bottomend is nocking @ high rpm what do i do??????helpwill it have messed the head up or will it just be the bottom end rebuilding

 

Could be a million things. However if its a mint shell then go for it! The engine (assuming you stay standardish) is the cheap part of these cars when it comes to repairs

 

if the body works good enough then snap it up m8!!! Grab yourself a 2nd hand engine perhaps one with a few nice touches an just drop the complete lump in then sell what ever's salvageable from the knocking lump...

 

i think ill do that.....if its the bottomend bearing can i just replace it???

 

do a compression test on it 2 make sure its all the same in each cylinder.then take it apart,get crank reground and new shells.sorted
