I've got a v5 type R and the big ends have gone.Its fine on tickover,but once you rev in it to 2500rpm it clonks badly. It sounds like the right bank. I've been told re-building is not a good option(£5000+). A new block is around £2800 plus fitting (£3500+). Does anyone know if i can do it cheaper and do v3 & v4 engines fit to v5 ancillaries. HELP i cant afford to fix it. Any ideas welcome. I know it sound bad but what about thick oil and part ex it.
