hi, it's the first time writting here.
I'm noob as having driven cars for a just couple of years..
But since I bought this car,ek hatch, about a month ago, it has been making a knock when revving up I can feel it having issues..
I seafoamed, changed oil , spark plugs and distuributor, everything I could do. but it still exists. a mechanic I went to find it out, didnt give me a clear answer for it and told me to change this engine or rebuild w/ quote around 2k.
since this car has d16y4, 170k I think it is because of a poor sylinder head.
plus I need to change timing belt and clutch too. but obviously I dont
wanna spend too much money for this engine..
Instead, I'm looking a better condition one or d16y1 or y8 too. yet I don't know who can do mini me swap things and simply quote me the cost.
can anyone tell me what is the best to save money or spend worth?
and any suggest for a mechanic in NSW?
thx for reading long and elementary english anyway. thx thx
