cheaper to get a LET to be honest

compression is TOTALLY wrong on the XE, hell if anything its too high on the LET, lol

Have heard of people putting a Coscast C20 XE head onto a LET.

I think this works quite well.

how about a turbo kit for a c20xe?will this have more power then a standard let?
or will it better to just get a let engine?

lol right cheers,

how much should i pay for a LET?
is it worth rebuilding the LET?
Buy a cheap LET and rebuild it, how much does rebuilding roughly cost?

A cheap LET is about ?6-800

A average priced one is ?1-1200- Dont pay this unless you see it running or get a kind of warranty with it.

I would recomened rebuilding any engine before fitting, maybe not complete strip down but pull the head off, have a compression test etc etc.

coscast head on the xe is the same as a let one anyway, so would make no difference
