1200-1500 for self build. That includes replacing a buggered crank and all gaskets you will need and other consumables.

350 is borderline, just pop up and see me for all your bits and pieces.
Andy its dai from off flint :) edit: lol i guess you realized that hence the pop up lol got excited |
im struggling with this bolt that much i actually hate it

Search Ebay for these sockets mate, essential for an engine strip. They grip rounded off nuts/bolts.
https://i1215.photobucket.com/albums...oker/005-2.jpg As for the cost of an engine build, well if it's a straight forward build then it should be a straight forward list. However this is when it gets complicated. The "while you're in there" factor can take you off on all different types of tangents. Project creep is a bitch. |
lol love it cheers !! never even knew these sockets existed
sweet edit: just been reading your build kwik , thats what im going to be like , but more spanner rash no doubt :) anyway i had to fast forward to the last page so dont tell me what happens lol |
alright then this thread was more of a shall i keep it and know you have given me the answers i wanted im going to close this thread and make a project progress thread ,
cheers for the help so far but dont go far :) |
