Sadly my baby - '95 UK 3.0 manual - suffered oil starvation whilst on track recently and the result is loud knocking from the big ends, no question the bottom end will need some surgery. So.....
Has anyone been down this route before? I can't really afford to splash out £6k on fitting a replacement unit and besides there is nothing fundamentally wrong with the rest of the engine; so I was hoping I'd be able to have a quality engineering shop dismantle, replace the crank & big end bearings with a crank regrind as necessary and put it back together. OK I realize I may be oversimplifying things a little but I worked in an engine shop some years ago and essentially thats all that should be required as far as I can see - am I being niave or is there more to repairing the NSX motor than meets the eye?
Any constructive advice appreciate!
(Its only been a week and I can't believe how much I'm missing the car already!!!! :redface: )
