  1. wow snapped main bearing i rebuild many never seen a snapped bearing before if the bearing was snapped then there must of bean play to do so

    or the plunker who build it last went a size to small i would suggest a full strip down and start measuring everythin

    maybie best to fit another bottom end if your not in the know how of engine building theres lots that will go wrong

    i no right. tell me about it

    i am not a mechanic - i dont no where to start -

    i dont no where to send it either

    am i best off just hoping for a good engine to turn up and putting than instead to save the headache -

    - some of what is inside is not even numbered up correctly. 2 and 5 2 and 3 etc. i really dont no..

    two of them are snapped tho

    il take pics later to show exactly what i mean

  2. You can rebuild the engine, all the parts you need are still available (and we stock everything).

    By the way, that's my old car.

    i did call earlier and spoke with a boy.

    i looked on your website and the part doesnt seem to be stocked?

    and yea i knew it was your old car - idrees :) i no the name :)

    You can replace the main end caps but you would need to have them line bored to suit the engine which will cost alot of money. cheaper to find another engine to drop in whats the power of the car? And how often do you service it. it's the torque that snaps the main caps. Hope this helps nick. also welcome to Ukso enjoy your stay :)

    it is running 190 bhp - how much would that cost to replace the main end caps and line bored? and cheaper option where can i get an engine from as soon as possible please.

    i may pm you if ok

  4. Hi guys I am i need of some friendly advice. I really hope I can get it here.



    I recently purchased a Toyota Starlet from Ebay and owned it now for near enough 1 year.


    The car has been fantastic for this time but I've encountered some problems the last month or so and now it has gotten serious.



    At first i was burning oil so i thought the pistons were the cause so took engine apart to check



    Now I've discovered the main end bearings are snapped? - I've been told these are not replaceable? Is this a fact?



    Do I now need a new bottom end or New Engine?



    Please any advice is hugely appretiated.



    If any one can point me in the right direction - Locate me a good reasonably priced engine then I would be greatful.



    Here is my baby - That needs to be back on the road asap



    I will get pics of the snapped bearings later - for referance
