VR6Pete 1,455 Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 I know this is not probably not much help to you, but I had mine rebuilt at Stealth Racing.It took 2 weeks to carry out the work as Vince already had built me the new bottom end and gearbox, head is under a year old already!Dont be afraid to travel, as you will need to get some miles on the clock when running it in. so a trip back to scotland may not be that bad after all I assume you are just after a top end rebuild only?

dellert 0 Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 IMO nothing is the same after it has been apart. A recon engine will never be the same as a brand spangly new one, but it will be a whole load better than a knackered one. Link to post Share on other sites
