you would be mental to do your engien without a rebuild.
You are looking at about 4 grand for yours with someone else (eg courtenay) doing all the labour and about 1500 for a valver with someone else doing all the labour (anyone, its easy, so you dont need to be going to courtenay etc).

NOS?
About ?250 and you could be running at around 150hp and none of the extra cost and hassle of turbos and valvers......
pm me if you are interested - i live near Northampton

Cant beat NOS for value for money, do at least a quick rebuild (new rings, hone bores, replaces bearings) first though.
