hi all
the trouble i had with me engine this week has just blown my engine think its serious piston or bottom end ????????
me and my mate are gonna rebuild it everything.
i just brought a fiesta 1.8 diseal today to get around and as a work car hope i can handle all 75bhp of her well at least when i get back into the 320bhp scoob it will be fast as **** any major dos and donts for the rebuild hopefully should cost bout grand for everything incl.new clutch pistons rings valves big end crank etc seem bout right??????????cheers people will let you know in about 3 months when i get back on road

 

Good luck Chunkey Monkey.

Hope it doesn't cost you the earth.



I can symathise, my VF28 packd up recently, and had to get another blower, plus an STI up pipe.

Good luck M8.


regards.

if you need a new crank that will knock a hole in your grand budget.

me and my cousin rebuilt mine about 12 months back, my crank was good to go again though. i would change the oil pump aswell £100 to £180 + the cambelt £40-£50 notes, thats the first £150+ sterling's.

it all adds up

 

i would spend the money put in forged pistons forged crank if ur going to do it may as well do it right

 

will try to get forged crank and pistons cam belt was canged 4 months ago. will this be ok to put back on cheers

 

think so i would just get stronger internals then if u so please u can run big power safer

 

thats up to you but me personaly i would change it. check the roller's, tensioner and water pump if they are noisey the bearings might be shafted.

get the block cleaned and the bores honed when its all stripped

sounds stupid but all the little things add up ££

 

and find out what it was that caused it to go pop in the first case or you could be back where you started after not very long
