what is a rough price for a cossie rebuild 330bhp spec for a garage to do,and in parts for me to do

rapidcossie

is a hrd one mate...

do you wan to use a new block?

if not i would say about 3-4k?

b14dave

my block is already a 200 block with long studs plus when i had head gasket i had a cometic groupa fitted which is reusable plus i got the ford employee card so i would get the parts cheap

Depends on what you mean by "rebuild", if its just a freshen up with some major fault fixed, such as a rehone, new rings on standard pistons and pop back together with a couple of new gaskets then it could be only a few hundred quid, but thats NOT a rebuild IMHO, to do the job properly its definately well into the thousands.

i put new rings gaskets,bearings, oil pump, head skim reseat vlaves odds and sods , i put it back together and for the bits ive mentioned cost me a grand

b14dave

think it just needs ring due to my low power and cylinder leakage blowing threw crancase breather,head had skimmed when had head gaket done and fitted cometic grpa gasket and the turbo is quite new with no play rest seems ok no noises just bit of piston slap

Azrael

chip-3door does it make any sense to e.g. just change piston rings in your opinion?


Assuming of course that bores still keep factory tolerances

Ian M

if it has piston slap as stated it will require a rebore and new pistons + rings.

cometic gaskets are just that, not grp a which arent much good anyway. by the way they are not reusable no matter what you are told.

I agree with Ian, if its so loose its slapping, its going to need a new block or new pistons or a sleeved block, ie NOT just rings.

I wouldnt be using any head gasket twice

I just rebuilt my bottom end keeping original block, so had rebore, crank grind and flywheel skim new pistons all bearings and oil pump new gaskets including cometic head gasket and alcon clutch cost me just over £1400, when I had my head done a couple of years ago cost me about £600 so I would say a minimum £2000 in parts and machining so if someone builds it for you then add another £500 minimum on top of that.
