Hey Tim==Rocker arms and push rods don't come with a rebuilt head. You will have to buy these anyhow. However the biggest thing is if the valve guides are worn or not. Stick a valve in the guide and wiggle it and if it moves over about .020 the guides need replaced which requires a machine shop. GoodluckJoe

if you have a bent or broken rod, fixing the head will not help. A bent rod means you need to rebuild the engine. Before you rebuild the engine, look at buying a crate engine from an aftermarket supplier like jegs.com.

How much would it cost to rebuild a Ax5 transmission from a 93 jeep wrangler with 112000 miles?

The internal workings of the transmissions are very complex. I suggest if you have the knowledge to at least pull the trans, to do that & either take it to a shop to rebuild or exchange for one already rebuilt (or a used from from a salvage yard). Then you will save the labor by taking it out & reinstalling it yourself. But for the trouble & special tools needed, it is far cheaper in $$$ & time to get a used or rebuilt trans & do the labor yourself.

How do you fix the turbo on your 1997 Volvo 850 GLT?

It depends on whats wrong with it. 1. The most common is a leaking oil seal, which is easy to diagnose by the blue smoke from the exhaust. 2. If the bearings are worn and the wheels are ok, the turbo can be rebuilt. You can have it done by a shop or by ordering a rebuild kit and fixing it yourself. 3. If the wheel or housing is damage, it would be easier/cheaper just to by a new/rebuilt turbo.
