    Unhappy Used engine resources

    I haven't posted in a long time and I don't think there's a good spot for this but here goes!

    My stupid 2005 Evo VIII decided it didn't like its timing belt and exploded. Long story short, I need a new engine. I've seen what Ebay has to offer but I figured I'd post here and see if there are any alternatives. My poor 2005 only had 60,XXX miles on it. Most of the used engines have plenty more. I'll take something with more miles just because I can't let this thing go. HALP!

    I'll recommend rebuild... if the timing belt gave out, you may need only head components like valves, head gasket, head stubs and complete timing components. If your bottom end is done... It's also better get reputable shop and rebuilt it. I prefer a oem rebuilt engine that unknown used engine. Another could be a reputable shop selling a new motor.

    It doesn't matter but did you do the timing belt before it let go? If not 11 years was a hell of a run. Bet you don't do that again. Check around and see about getting it rebuilt like EJ said. It's expensive I know but better in the long run.

    Here is a replacement long block. Looks like a good deal to me. This would put you right back in the game.
