  • Engine rebuild kit

    I just got off of Ebay, they had no rebuild kits for the B3! WTH?
    Anyway, does anyone have a good source for rebuild kits?

      The proper rebuild for a B3 is to put in a B6 or better.

          RockAuto has them, but is a B3 worth it? You can get similar mileage and more power with a simple B6. A BP swap can still get 42 mpg with 127 hp vs 45-50 mpg with 68 hp. Easy decision.

                I got new rings, bearings, and all of the gaskets on ebay for around 200$. Your most likely gonna have to buy individual items if your set on rebuilding the b3.

                  My guess is everything except the rings & head gasket, since the B6 is a larger bore.
