if you cant rebuild the engine yourself you are looking at easily 1300 upwards.....

It will 99% need a new crank...they always do since the crank pin journal can only be ground once under-size.

usually you can tell how badly the big ends are ****ed by feelin the crank.. it should be smooth like cam lobes..when they have been knocking/****ed they will be rough ..

Like i said,...it will likely need a new crank!

On these cranks you can only grind 0.25mm undersize on the big-ends...thats proper measuring Gibbo, not witha finger-ometer :lol: This means if the damage is greater than that, which they always seem to be, then the crank is US.

Is that £200 if you just send them your bare block tho? As it would cost a lot more if the lad needed somebody to take engine out, strip it and put it back in
