You would probably be better off taking your current engine to some one.... expect roughly £200 in parts (standard) so long as you don't need new pistons..... which unfortunately by the sound of it you will (no compression) but this may not be due to bore damage (could be head). And probably another 2-500 for machining and labour I have always built my own engines so im not sure how much companies charge. If you need new pistons these will be roughly 3-350 for standard mahle items.

Good luck

Rob,

just rebuilt mine and it cost, £700+ for parts and im sure it was £300+ for machine shop work and my labour was free, i did have to go far forged pistons as mine had been rebuilt once before and i needed +1 pistons.
