Taggy Posted January 19, 2011 Author Posted January 19, 2011 Yeah thats about what i had in mindi picked up engine while ago for £50 that vary from £50 to £150 its what some one is willing to pay Quote
Steve GT Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 still worth £100-£150 in my opinion ;) Quote
Socks Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 problem is... if its spun a bearing it'll need regrinding work on crank and oversized shells...alot of pro engine builders wont touch a engine for a forged build if the bottom end's knocking... because the crankshafts are hardened and when u regrind them u get rid of that hardened layer... so they wear quicker and therefore knock again in no time...thought this was interesting... so if its someone u care about get it him to get hold of a servicable engine ;) Quote
james@cjperformance Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 ^^^ yes but i will be having a billet crank made up for it.@ taggy pm coming your way dude. Quote
Socks Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 ;) no worries dude... dont want anyone having fresh engine failure... it'd be depressing as fook! Quote
Sparky Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Yea between £50 and £150 I have an engine in the same condition and its up for £100 Quote
