Rebuilding an engine

[Spud]

Im planning on rebuilding one of the engines in the summer, just wondering if anyone has a rough idea of what im gonna need and how much it might cost.

I've thought of a few things:


Gasket kits
Pistons and rings
Seals
Valves
Hire of crane
Any tools i haven't got already

enigine is a 993cc from a mk2(not mine), its been in a crash aswell so i figure im gonna need to check alingments of some things?

Dont waste your money mate!!

I got a fully rebuilt gsi engine for sale if ur interested? Its done 500miles.

Pistons are roughly ?30 each with rings.

The cost of rebuilding that engine would outweight the cost of buying a better one (anything but a 1L) and fitting that!
I sold my old 1.4 SR engine for ?100 including 'box
