He is one cool reliable guy, knows all the shit ect. His missus has an ESCY COS, and he has RS500 AND RS turbo series 2 , and his business partner has a SAPH COS.

You are in well safe hands with these guys. NOTHING is too much trouble mate. YOU wont go wrong dude, honest

FYI standard RS turbo pistons are around £400 new from burtons

Pm Tony Turbo about APT https://passionford.com/forum/privms...ode=post&u=340

Alternatively these guys can rebuild you a complete engine incl head for £952.50 http://www.specialisedengines.co.uk/

If you are keeping the car & thinking of upping the power it might be worth fitting proper forged pistons, decent head & cam, whilst its apart

i recently rebuilt one and bits came to about 700 thats is pistons,rings,re bore,shells, oil pump,full gasket set, valve stem seals. not worth skimping on a engine. didnt take me long to do once you get all bits cleaned down.

Yeah I enjoy doing it all my self too Hybrid. Thing is I have not the back up when things go wrong. Ie in the way of Diag tools.
The engine I got seems ok. Just got no compression on bore 1 and cant see why not.
