savage bulldogs Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Sound's like a v4 to me It depends on budget and how much work you can do yourself (to keep costs down) As I've seen quotes for £1,300 from some garages just to do head gaskets . You could buy the parts and pay for the machine work needed to fully rebuild yours for about the same cost , just depends on your skill set and timescale . as with all second hand engine's you have to take the seller's word for it's condition . Unless buying from someone trusted or hearing it running . Tuff choice and best of luck bud 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terzoman Posted September 6, 2014 Author Share Posted September 6, 2014 On a low budget sadly :(as for how much work, aside from machining (skimming, etc) I can it all......but as I said, my budget is very low....as in ideally sub £500 :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 I use importcarparts for all my gaskets ect.. I suppose a standard full gasket set , bottom end shells and head bolts and cambelt kit wouldn't give you much change from £ 1k . As I personally wouldn't reuse any of the above if splitting the block . Headsets will be a bit cheaper and some people do reuse the head bolts but if the cambelt rollers and tensioner are original I'd add a full cambelt kit into the equations . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
