Has anyone had there EJ257 block pegged to strengthen the block?
If so, where did you get it done and at what cost?
Cheers

 

I haven't had it done but you could speak to Paul Finch, Finchmotorsport, Northampton, contact details on their website. I've seen pegged EJ257s in his workshop.

Take a look at this thread https://www.scoobynet.com/720501-diy...type-r-13.html about page 13.

 

Cheers guys

 

As said - speak to Paul Finch rob - he will sort whatever you need. Top bloke !!

 

Now in touch with him

 

Ive pegged my block and can get this service done for you

 

Cheers for the offer Frayz but I have already been in contact with Paul Finch who will be doing this for me.

 

No worries Rob, get in touch if you get stuck with this.

Im based in Essex and can get these done easily for a better price than most others

 

What sort of costs are involved to do this?

 

Typically the block will be inspected and bores measured. Then the block will be machined and pegged.
Once pegged the bores will be remeasured. If they have changed shape at all then they will be honed back to round to suit the required pistons. If the bores havent changed then the block will not be rehoned.

PM me for prices

 

Ok cool, thanks for the info, worth think about when I eventually forge my ej257 block

 

Dropped you a pm Frayz.
