DeanoDB9 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Hi I'm looking for a turbo engine for a 97 Impreza turbo 2000. Any reasonable prices considered. The head gasket on mine went and the "mechanic" who was meant to fix it, didn't. So now need a new engine... Please help!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tlag Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Why is the current engine not repairable? I can see the attraction of just buying an engine and dropping it in but you could get the same problem ( or worse) the following week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanoDB9 Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 The head gasket went on the engine originally. The engine got taken out by a so called "mechanic" who then left it in his back garden for 5 years. So it was was full of ants and sand and god knows what else. I would get it reconditioned but there doesn't seem to be anyone who can be trusted not to con you out of a lot of money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
