£2-3k to get garage to rebuild, cheaper of course if you can do it yourself If going with 2nd hand engine be careful where you buy it from

The cheapest option would be a doner engine for a couple of hundred quid. The only problem will be you cannot guarentee the condition it's in.
If you can afford to spent around £2000 on an engine rebuild then that would be the best option, but is it worth spending that kind of money on a 14 year old cad unless your planning on mega power in the long run.

Check the crank pulley first. It might be that it's not as tight as it should be

Hi I got some bits off here being told was for newage as my bottom end went. Didn't end up using them as Paul from zen performance discovered they were from a classic so I got done.

So I now Have ACL race bearings, rods, oil pump and a crank if any help.
