Rebuild Prices

[deanflowers]

other than pretty basic tools you will need a 54mm socket, although i have heard of people borrowing them off guys who work on transits if you know anyone.

apart from that you just need all your parts checked and some accurate measuring equipement feeler guages and calipers.

The trouble is with the engine out you decide to do all those other little jobs

About £900 for the parts (Rotor Housings new £500)

New rotor housings are cheaper than £500 - RX motors web site quotes £350 each.

Carl said they go about £400 but this wasnt a exact price so yes you should get the mfor less than £500.

Carl at hayward rotary checked my parts over me a bout a month ago, although he had worked on the car once previously when it was on its last legs

Sooo, now I have to decide if its worth me saving £1000 doing it myself or is the £1000 worth spending just for a reciept and warrenty (the power of being able to sell it on afterward :rolleyes: ) Not exactly what I want but Ive been stung now so we\'ll see.

I\'d be carefull with this Dave. There is a thread knocking about at the moment which seems to go down the lines that if the engine is modified there will be no warranty even if it is the workshop in question who modified it!!! Not saying this will necessarly apply for WGT but.....

get any assurances of a warranty and what it covers in writing first!

Cheers for that mullins, Ive been following the thread with interest actually and its seriously making me think twice about spending serious cash now. All being well Im taking the engine out of the car tomorrow with G@ndy (thanks very much buddy) so thats an initial saving straight away next problem is wondering do I have a go at stripping the engine myself and go from there and call in favours from a few other guys I know and see what happens, failing that I could just give the engine to someone and get it rebuilt

Least things are moving now.:Thumbsup!

How many miles on this engine?

Un sure, I understood that Pip rebuilt it in Christmas 2003 so 2 and a half years ago by my reckoning, so I wouldnt have said that many miles were on it as Pip used to own it and Sean (who bought it off him) didn own it for too long, about 6 months but he did take it too Nuremberg Ring etc... So I wouldnt say its done anywhere near 60k. Id be suprised if its covered 25-30k.

[ro284]

as you say, not a lot of miles on it, hopefully a lot if not most will be
re-usable
