Theres the only ones extra i can think you would need.

[Ingram11]

cheers m8?just thought,oilpump
do they have liners in the blok or r they solid?cheers

[Laine_16v]

Oil pump if you are rich, they are £150 or so from renault but i guess it would be a good idea.

Im not sure about liners, i think they DONT use wet liners, what ever that means, but ill let someone more knowledgable confirm that.

No liners.

Measure oil clearances to see if you actually need a crank regrind.

You may aswell change the crank oil seals while your there. Alos strip the head, check seats and change stem seals.

Full dynamic balnnce of cranktrain (crank+pulleys+bolts+fly+clutch cover) inc lighten fly is £200 from me.

Strip head, ahve valve seats re-cut and machine valves, valve stem oil seals, tappets, skim head (ofc) - my local place charges £2 per valve and £2 per valve seat, and £35 to skim a head

[Ingram11]

its all not as expensive as i thought then,lol still costs tho,but will be worth it when done

[Lunner]

Think in total everything i did on engine cost about £800, but £200 of that was work stan did on crank and flywheel

[Plattsy]

forged internals would be good :wink:

[Lunner]

so would winning the lottery :lol:

[Plattsy]
