I purchased a ERST 3 months ago with a view to restoring her back to her original standard condition over time. I noticed at high revs 4500 - 5000 my inter cooler was filling with oil. I had it compression tested today by PJ Motorsport in Wolverhampton, they concluded that piston 1 to 3 were fine but piston number 4 wasn't!
They said that I will have to have the bottom end bored out and bigger pistons fitted. This would correct things. However, while the engine is stripped I should replace the oil pump, water pump, bearings, gaskets and cam belt.
Can anyone advise/recommend somebody to do the work? How much are we talking to do the work? PM me or contact me on 07796 008817.
