i think because the cranckshaft is laser alligned m8.
u would probaly be better gettin a full engine. it would be cheaper
i picked a 30k engine for £1400 and that was with the loom an ecu
u only need the engine so it mite be around £900

pumabuild have done the whole rebuild on woodys fiesta. they had to take the crank out to bore the block to a 2litre. it can be done, the whole rebuild thing is hear'say in my opinion.
its the same as the 1.6, everybody says it cant be rebuilt but how do you balance the bottom end when building a super1600 engine?
