neilsmith Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 So me and my mate bought a gt turbo between us as a project as the bottom end was rattling, we stripped it down and found that number 4 was worn alot and the other 3 were slightly worn.Anyway weev bought new shells (.5 oversize ones) and had a quote to get the crank re-ground and its basiclly going to cost us £350 in total plus the money we spent on the shells so weer startiing to wonder if it would be worth the hassle as by the time we get the car up and running we will loose some cash.Does anyone have a freshly re ground crank with shells and conrods laying around they could sell?Or does anyone have a bare engine in good working condition for sale? Would need to be a good price tho.Any help would be muchly appreciated, Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 was that 350 just for the re-grind?thing with buying a second hand engine, you may just have the same problem again, you never know 100% its going to be ok..fresh rebuild would be better imo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neilsmith Posted October 16, 2011 Author Share Posted October 16, 2011 £350 was for re grinding the crank, re grinding the conrods, cleaning out the block and fitting the crank to the rods and the block then we would need to buy a new head gasket and timing belt to build the engine back up.
