Hi
Sorry but this actually isnt about an integra or even a honda but iv got some productive advice from this forum before so turning to you guys again.
I have bought an audi r8 that has been involved in an accident, the car looks like its rolled and has suffered roof damage. Upon purchasing i never thought to think the engine could be seized (starvation of oil when upside down) from the roll but it seems that way now as it wont turn over. when trying to crank the car it just dies and having inspected the cyclinders two of them had oil and possibly water in them, the remaining 6 are clean. I was advised to take the spark plugs out and turn the engine and it did turn but oil came spluttering out and then on the second attempt wouldnt turn over as before.
My question now first is there any hope for this or is the engine finished?
if the engine is seized beyond repair can any parts be salvaged from it?
is it more feasible to recon or replace
engine are in access of £5000 excluding labour and i havnt found any info of anyone who can recon yet.I have been looking into the rs4 engine as the blocks are the same with a few additional feature such as dry sump on the r8 but again im not sure if using one of these could work.
Any advice would be very much appreciated
