Default Build me an engine

Hi,

I've got a punto turbo (yes I know it shit gay and unreliable before anyone says it) its been a small project of mine to tune it a little (aiming for 190 bhp).

I've sourced a new block pistons crank etc etc, so I basically have all the bits I need aside from a water pump and oil pump which arn't a problem.

The bottom end has been lightly fettled and after asking a few people in my area to put this bottom end together for me I've been let down time after time.

So, I've got one person left who 'said' he'd put it together for me but failing that is there anyone on here who would do it?

Sorry for the long boring post.

steven

Are you prepared to be told that some or all of the parts are no good?

Do you want everything measured in detail and triple checked, or do you just want it bolted together and hope for the best?
