Idrees Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 For a basic full rebuild you'll need:BearingsPiston ringsEngine gasket setOil pumpWater pumpTiming belt kitHeadbolt kitAs its knocking you'll also need to have the crank ground from an engineers firm. They'll measure the crank journals and tell you what size bearings you require too (usually 0.25 or 0.5mm oversized). If the crank has been ground before your machine shop may recommend a replacement, they'll also text it for any cranks and if it's cracked then definitely get a replacement. Also get the machine shop to clean up the block and head, and have the bores honed/deglazed.We can supply all the parts you'll need. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Idrees Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Have you worked on any other engines before? That would really help. If this is your first build then make sure you carry out enough research and read up what you need to know before building the engine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
