  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Hey Guys, I have a 2011 3.8 rspec coupe. High miles, timing jumped and is knocking. What is the better options between rebuilding the stock motor or just finding a low mileage used one. Not looking to build a performance engine. Just a daily driver.

Probably better go used. A rebuild on a Dohc v6 engine WILL be expensive, and likely done wrong. Unless your building for power, with a reputable engine builder, who’s also familiar with the lambda engine, then it would make sense to rebuild.
