Oh dear that sounds expensive. Perhaps a good time for some upgrades while your engine is out.

Would you be confident doing it yourself. I was looking at a few before that needed rebuilding but decided not to do it as winter was fast approching then I bought my Blob as I needed a car and fell in love with it. On my research its the labour that takes the mic but you can do it as long as you can follow instructions. Save the grand and put it towards fully forged pistons.

I know but engine hoist rental is about £50. But if you have the money get it done by a garage.
