I was on my way back from ford fair and the car started pinking and then it started firing on three and then it stopped, anyway to cut a long story short i pulled the head off today and number 2 piston is rather melted!!!! I live in plymouth, who can i get to re build it and what sort of cost should i be looking at, i will remove and re fit the engine i just want bottom and top re built????

 

sorry to hear that m8

cost of rebuilts range from Ł2000 - ŁŁŁŁŁ all depends on WHAT u want standard or L/comp etc and who's doing it!if that makes any sense! hope you get it sorted soon

I ending up buying an engine that I knew had been freshly built for far less than it would of cost me to re build my one

 

Sent you a PM with some local numbers mate

 

hi m8.

ure not the only one, i done the same going to the fordfair was going 140ish and the fuc er let go, just got in now after taking the head apart and there a 1 inch hole in no.2 piston and heads going need cleaing up..
