WideSam Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Engine paid for, van hired, all set to collect next Sunday. So I should be back on the road in just over a fortnight :D Then it'll be time to see what can be done with the bag of spanners that's in the car at the moment... How hard can engine rebuilding be anyway? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm definitely more clued up on the coatings of it now after spending ridiculous amounts of time researching it over the past week. However, the actual process seems really nice and methodical- which is a way I love working, pretty sure I'm quite high in the autism scale. Hopefully, if it's just a spun bearing it'll only be a few hundred to replace what's necessary and get everything checked. I've got all the time I need to do it, as I'll have my car running again.
