Rotorstock casualty, i need a rebuild! But which way to go...

[nikp]

Aah, fair play.

I was only interested as I am thinking that maybe I may do the rebuild of mine if and when it needs it.

[Donato]

I see,

Well, i can tell you, when it does happen, not for a good while hopefully! Then you will save yourself £500 by removing the engine yourself, if you decide to get someone else to rebuild and port it, its well worth removing yourself.

Cheers

Yeah, I\'m pretty confident I can at the very least I can cope with removing it myself. I\'m happy with a spanner (And a swear box! ) so feel i can at least get that out myself!

Like you say though, hopefully won\'t have to be done for a while - according to Pip it\'s had a replacement engine put in at some point!

took mine out last month, sent it to tim rx motors strapped to a pallet, got it back 3 weeks later, now back in the car being run in.
if u have taken engines out before, very easy job, apart from removing down pipe. make sure u undo clutch cover bolts from clutch cover inspection hole to pull engine from bellhousing, as i didnt!!!!! make sure u undo earth strap from front plate as well, as i didnt and snapped it of with block and tackle.
leave turbos and inlet manifold on the engine, disconect power stearing and acon but leave piped up attatched to the car.

All done now though...

[deanflowers]

[Donato]
