Went to pickup my car from Bullish Racing on saturday, they were installing my fuel system.
As soon as I walked in they told me to come back to the dyno where they showed me that the #6 cylinder had coolant in it.
The thing I don't understand is that they did a compression and leakdown before they started working on the car and the numbers were awesome.
They also told me that there were a few oil drops under the trans and that the car probably needs a rear main seal.
They suggested that I pull the motor out of the car, put it on an engine stand and allow them disasemble it and if the bearings look good put all new seals in it, if the bearings are worn put in a new Toyota short block.
The car runs strong (over 500 rwhp @15psi) and for the month that I drove it, it never used any oil.
They said at the very least I put a HKS headgasket on it with ARP studs.
They would charge me $1850 for just the headgasket job or $5200 to pull the motor and R&R and $500 to just do the rear main seal.
I don't know what to do, Should I just do the head gasket and see what happens?
Should I do the head gasket and the rear main seal?
Or should I let them pull the motor and go all out?
Someone please give me some good advise...
I just dropped over $6,000 on the car between the fuel system brakes and many other little things that added up.
