ok so here is the situation i hav damaged the head of my 13gbb jimny engine with auto transmission. I am not inclined to get rid my car as i hav already spent too much on it and hav plans to keep it around for a while. I am wondering what are my options in terms of repairing my current engine, replace with an m13a, g16a/b and gti engine. If anyone knows the sorts of costs involved in that sort of stuff ur help would be much appreciated. (also i hav no idea how easy an engine swap is with the auto)
Thanks

if motor is rooted you could put 1.6 engine pretty easily. that would be sweet!
but yeah probs can get away with just putting a recon or low km head on it.
depends if you have the money i suppose or the want/need for a little more grunt
