Don't tell me you've destroyed it already??! have you tried yates in longton (or similar)?

[Adam]

Lol John.

Nah, its not for my engine, that never misses a beat!

It was for a plan i had, cost has put a end to that tho :( Lol

[coochiSR]

What engine is it for Ad, i'll try and find out tomorrow if you want?

Well not sure about the 1400 but when i just rebuilt mine the rings came to about ?120-?130 ish and the shells were ?65 and then ?60 for a crank regrind an balance. An thats all on trade. Building engines isnt cheap at all.

[coombsey]

for my redtop i paid 54 for the rings that was with him cleaning and fitting them, big end shells were 10, if i wanted a regrind and balanceit would be 66 60 ish that was including all shells/bearings

For my E16SE:

Piston rings - ?60 from Local Motor Factors
Main bearing shells (Heavy-duty) - ?41.75
Big end bearings (Heavy-duty) - ?26.83

Crank grind (big end only) ?45

Hmm, probably better decision just to find a good condition block in the first place.

Meh, i'll stick with 1400cc for a bit then.

Mad Rick is giving away a 1.6 bottom end....

[Welsh Dan]

The penny drops?

[staggy_gsi]

for my E16SE the piston rings were 50 quid and the big end bearings were just short of 20.
