Just moving and reposting this from the billings forum, which is apparently super dead...
Hey guys, I have a dilemma I could use a hand with solving. I've got to get my miata's motor rebuilt. And I don't exactly have the resources to do so.... Basically, I work out of town full time, in williston, and I have a week or so at a time out of the month back in Billings. I haven't got a shop, my driveway is dirt, and I need to pull the motor out of my car.
Just seeing if anyone could possibly rent out their garage or space or offer some help to get this sucker done.
I need to remove the motor, replace the clutch, get the exhaust/turbo/manifold boxed up and shipped off, and have the motor rebuilt (locally) and then rebuild it all. So, a bit of a project. I've got most of the parts, I.E. pistons, rods, oil pump, etc, and need to get bearings/gasket set once its out and we check the crank with the machine shop.
Any ideas, offers of help, would be appreciated. I'll be in town at the time to orchestrate anything I come up with, so at least that's helpfull...
