Hi Wig the quotes I have had so far are
Three Arches £2800 for complete re-build the guy I spoke to Dean he is very good mind knows his stuff and very helpful
API £1800 re-built with either same crank if it is useable gaskets etc again they knew their stuff and very helpful
Paul & Finch Motorsport £2300 complete re-build and agin knew their stuff and very helpful
I haven't phoned any more yet as I need to start saving lol. I might just try and get hold of a short block or complete second hand engine until I have enough to completely re-build with forged internals

Will have a look for your thread 2 engines in 3 months is very bad luck, I have had my Scooby for 8 years and never missed a beat until now lol.
I got a 52 plate WRX bugeye and I love it i know it's not worth much now but it's worth a lot to me and I have spent quite a bit of money on it already so can't wait to just get it back on the road now

I have been thinking of getting this engine what you guys think?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2712780347...84.m1423.l2649
But keep my original engine and get that re-built at a later date when I have enough saved up, would like to keep the engine number original
Hope that link works lol

I spoke to him on the phone and he said I could keep my engine if I wanted but would need to pay a little bit more to cover for it think he said he got 2 engines on the shelf ready to go and he charges £250 to fit it for you but it's getting my car up there for him do it is the problem, would be better if he fits it then like you said he can't pass the buck will have to ask him what sort of warranty comes with it too

Yeah will have to look into recovery options
Good luck with your engine re-build hope it all goes well for you now, let us know how the re-build is when it's done.
Good that they offer a year warranty

Yes I will let you no , it won't be a rebuild for that price I have priced the parts and they are prob a thousand or more I think it will be either a refurb block or if my engine aint too bad they will repair what parts have failed depends on what is the cheaper solution for them I suppose , I will let you no ten days they recon it will be fixed and returned we will see
