rob_bower Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Hey guys just after a bit of advice!! been looking at a 4efte to rebuild to put in the sr found one stupidly cheap that has had 2 pistons fail just wondering how much people think it would cost to do a standard ish rebuild? so i know if its worth ift or not or if in the long term its going to be cheaper to buy one that runs?? Thanks Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 No idea on costs but if you were going to do it properly which I'm guessing you are you'd need to take into account:machine the blockpiston ringspistons/rods if the old ones are fuckedwater pumpoil pumpnew valve stem seals depending on the mileageall beltsetc...

Jozinobi Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 The full 4EFTE Gasket kit is very good value at around £120 and all includes all gaskets (head, turbo, downpipe, inlet, exhaust) + new valve seals.Don't forget about the cost for the wiring to get the actual engine running as well, unless doing it yourself.That is another ball ache to think about cost/hassle wise.I'd save for a working low mileage baby and do it properly. Do it cheap, do it twice!Joz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rob_bower Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 Ignore my hurried babble earlier it just 2 piston rings that have failed.from the advert60k miles.piston rings have gone in two pistons. ideal for a forged rebuild head sounded sweet not exessive taping or rattles.Info:i was going to rebuild the engine myself but have got rid of the starbo so need it gone.comes with altenator and powersteering pump.dissy cap aswel. The full 4EFTE Gasket kit is very good value at around £120 and all includes all gaskets (head, turbo, downpipe, inlet, exhaust) + new valve seals.Don't forget about the cost for the wiring to get the actual engine running as well, unless doing it yourself.That is another ball ache to think about cost/hassle wise.I'd save for a working low mileage baby and do it properly. Do it cheap, do it twice!JozYea already got a loom stashed away that will take care of the majority of wiring issues but im not worrying about that at the mo!!Just wondered if it would save time in the long run. Buying a running engine it will only need rebuilding at some point in the future so it would only end beingdoen once its been in the car for a bit was thinking to do it now why i have the time. Allowing for the gasket set and getting it skimmed and checked out its. belts are service items so ive already factored that in as well as filters etc!! ill have a ponder!!
