what spec is it
Printable View
The engine will be standard mate it pulled 288bhp and 456n/m before the rebuild..spec was 16t ported, me7 manifold, miltec cat back (no cat), now i will have extra a fmic, 3" throttle body and of course a rebuilt engine so im not asking too much lol
I've searched the site but I can't find it (anyone seen it ?). I remember it was about a grand with machining work (it had a full seat and valve re-cut, a head skim, crank mic-up and polish, bore check for 'ovalarity' and wear, bore glaze bust,little end assessment and probably a few other things I can't remember !) Then the engine was built up with new seals, piston rings, big end bearings and mains. It didn't start off that expensive but when I got all the receipts together and added it all up it was a real 'holy £££££' moment ! I'll see if I can dig out any of the receipts over the weekend and post them up.
Fixed yer thread title.

Have lost the invoice for the bottom end but it had a mic-up, polish, light glaze bust/hone and the crank and flywheel were balanced.
I also rebuilt the turbo at the same time and the prices were from early 2007 so may be different now. Hope this is of some use.
