Hi sifus,
I m new to the VQ world and would like to seek your advise. I recently purchased a 3.0L 1997 and the engine has a mileage of 200km on it. Had couple of good runs on the highway south bound but recently the engine is giving continuous issues. e,g leak on the gearbox, D takes a while to engage, massive carbon build up in the engine, knocking issues, bad fuel consumption and just today... some weird whizzing sound coming from the rear block area whenever i rev the car and when i turn the steering wheel. (anyone knows what causes the whizzing sound?)
I m now contemplating between getting a full engine rebuild on the 3.0L or swapping it with a 2.5L engine. I would greatly appreciate it if any of the sifus here can outline the pro and cons on both my thoughts.
Thanks and in advance.
